It has been said that material published in textbooks are 10-years-old and that the information published in journals are one-year-old. The web might be the only place where we can remain current and be at the forefront of knowledge.
So, this is why I’ve created this post. The material in this post is to provide updates for purchasers of the Fish Vetting series of educational material.
These are truly investments that keep on giving. Make sure you save a link to this page/post and check it regularly.

Doctor Loh brings theory down to Earth and provides a practical approach to fish vetting with his series of publications.
