School of Veterinary Medicine, City University of Hong Kong, is proud to announce the world’s newest aquatic veterinary course – a MSc in Aquatic Production and Veterinary Health. This will be delivered jointly with the University of Stirling, beginning in September 2017.

They will have a team of world leaders in their subject areas to teach the various units.

Aquaculture has been the fastest growing animal production sector globally for the past three decades and with Asia producing over 90% of the world’s aquatic products, it is essential that expertise is built up in the region to ensure the production of safe and sustainable products.

There’s the old adage, “Real doctors treat more than one species.”

At The Fish Vet, we coined this, “Real veterinarians treat more than one phylum!”

Diseases can happen to any species.
While most aquaculture is primarily monoculture, diseases happen. And diseases are not specific to any particular species of cultured fish.
At The Fish Vet, our team has diversity of skills and experiences, covering many species. 
Our clients’ species include abalone, barramundi, goldfish, koi, prawns and more. Pets, food producers, public aquaria and educational institutions.
This means we have the comparative and competitive advantage.

Rapid Response is Key.

Delays in getting the right diagnosis can make it difficult for veterinarians and producers to pinpoint the best time to partake husbandry measures such as grading, and smolt transfer, sometimes resulting in more fish mortalities.

The Fish Vet’s diagnostics provide farmers with near real-time information on whether fish are healthy or diseased.

To address important decisions faced by managers of fish farms, testing will result in quicker decision-making, healthier fish and higher survival rates.

The Fish Vet results may give you new protocols that can significantly improve fish health and welfare, and they can also ease the day-to-day decision-making.

Invest in certified aquatic veterinarians and fish health advisors for your fish farm.
