Dr Loh, The Fish Vet, is now National!
With the National Recognition of Veterinary Registration, The Fish Vet’s services are no longer confined to Western Australia. No matter what aquatic species (ornamentals, zebrafish, barramundi, silver perch, Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, abalone, shrimp/prawn, kingfish, or tuna), I can now service fish clients in:
Western Australia
Victoria
New South Wales
Queensland
South Australia
Tasmania
So, if you need a doctor for your fish, you need The Fish Vet.
Read more below in my email to the Veterinary Surgeons Board (Queensland) :
Dear VSB,
I’m currently registed in WA and it allows me to practice in NSW, Victoria and Tasmania. I’d like to apply for secondary registration in Queensland.
VSB’s response :
Queensland has enacted legislation to allow for the National Recognition of Veterinary Registration so no longer has ‘secondary’ as a category of registration.
This means that you can work in Queensland intermittently without having to register here if you hold primary registration in another Australian jurisdiction. Please refer to the information at this link for further details http://www.vsb.qld.gov.au/national-recognition-veterinary-registration.html *Please note that South Australia now also participates in this scheme.

Fishy dad jokes = Fish joke for Monday-itis
Love this intro, “There’s one thing all dads have in common and that’s the ability to make the corniest jokes possible. They’re so notorious, there’s actually a name for them: dad jokes. Dad jokes are just so punny, just have to roll your eyes and pretend they never happened… or else you awaken the beast.”

Shark deterrents can t eliminate attacks – Yahoo7
Preliminary research by the University of Western Australia’s Oceans Institute suggests electronic anklet devices, bubble curtains and loud sounds including killer whale calls have a limited or insignificant effect in deterring sharks.
But there are promising early results from testing of the surfboard-based Shark Shield, which emits electromagnetic pulses to deter a range of shark species including tiger sharks and white sharks.

Regular Care and Maintenance of a Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Laboratory: an instructional video.
This is an interesting way for publishing in a journal. The video shows how to clean, disassemble and assemble a zebrafish system.
In general, a good effort at detailing how it is done, though there are a few inaccuracies. See what you think of it –
