    Summary: This book sheds light on the major functions of microbial communities in aquaculture ecosystems, showing that by recycling nutrients, degrading organic matter and preventing disease outbreaks, a variety of microbes are truly beneficial to a wide range of aquaculture industries. It discusses how deteriorating environmental quality enables some microbial strains to trigger disease, describes the development of highly sustainable tools to improve water quality, and identifies crucial factors that endanger microbial homeostasis in aquaculture ecosystems. The book also covers post-antibiotic approaches for preventing and treating opportunistic microbial infections based on harnessing environmental and fish-associated microbial communities. Furthermore, it explores how manipulating and engineering these complex microbial communities using bio-agents such as probiotics, phages, natural nutritional additives, or with fine-tuned biofilters will open the door for new ways to develop a more sustainable and cost-effective aquaculture industry. Including an accessible presentation of modern high-throughput sequencing technology to identify host-microbial interactions in aquaculture ecosystems, this book is a valuable resource for scientists, aquaculture and fishery experts, sustainability enthusiasts and scholars in the areas of biology and marine agriculture.

    The most important points in preventing innominate artery erosions following tracheostomy are proper placement of the stoma and selection of flexible tubes with appropriate low pressure cuffs. In tracheal resections the risk of a tracheo-innominate artery fistula can be reduced by avoiding damage to the adventitia of the artery fibrosed to the stenotic tracheal segment and by interposing tissue between artery and anastomosis. If haemorrhage occurs this can be controlled by hyperinflation of a cuffed endotracheal tube in most cases. Permanent control of this complication can be achieved by resection of the artery without interposing a vascular graft. No cerebral damage will result. A great number of patients can be saved by the timely institution of proper measures.
