Over the next few posts, I will be putting up notes on fish nutrition.
I’ve invited a colleague of mine, Ms Jessie Poon, to write a few words.
Ms Poon is currently studying nutrition at the RMIT. Subject areas covered in the course includes animal physiology, applied nutrition, toxicology and chemistry for life sciences. Her particular area of interest is health promotion through nutrition and diet, and biological sciences.
Ms Poon works at Boronia Aquarium (http://boroniaaquarium.com.au/), providing the vast variety of fishes, their nutritional needs utilising targeted feeding methods from the wide choice of foods available.
Ornamental fishes have travelled from afar and have undergone periods of fasting during their transit to your local fish shop. She has found that by supporting them with good nutrition leads to improved health and well-being of the fishes at Boronia Aquarium.
