Background:
Invertebrate animals comprise >95% of the animal kingdom’s species, yet non-parasitic invertebrates are vastly underrepresented in the typical veterinary school curriculum. This lecture provides an introduction to some of the more prominent marine invertebrate groups (coelenterates, mollusks, crustaceans, echinoderms, and the horseshoe crab) and reviews the state of the science with regards to clinical techniques. Areas of emphasis include taxonomy, anatomy, physiology, anesthesia, diagnostic techniques, and clinical management.
Learning Objectives – participants will:
1. Describe the differences between the major marine invertebrate taxonomic groups;
2. Describe how to work up a marine invertebrate case; and,
3. Discuss the treatment and management options for the most common and important dieases and syndromes of captive marine invertebrates.
