What’s the longest living animal in the world?
The ocean quahog would have to be the oldest living creature! It’s a bivalve mollusc that can live as long as 507 years!

Fishes and other aquatic animals live in a unique environment and in-depth knowledge of how water quality will affect biological processes including respiration, nutrition, hydration, excretion and more life-sustaining functions is essential for practicing aquatic veterinary medicine.
This presentation will provide an overview of the nitrogen cycle and a number of water quality parameters that affect fish health and disease, and treatment plans. Also covered will be practical ways to evaluate, monitor and correct water quality problems caused by shifts in temperature, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, carbonate hardness, general hardness, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, salinity and other physio-chemical parameters.
Speaker: Dr Richmond Loh BVMS, MPhil (Vet Path), MANZCVS (Aquatic & Path), CertAqV
Learning Objectives – participants will learn:
- The temperature, salinity, pH, KH, GH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate (the nitrogen cycle), dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide requirements of different fish species.
2. How to manage and prevent water quality issues using physical & biological filters, aeration, water flow, aquatic plants, water exchanges, fish stocking density, feeding rates, etc.
This webinar is suitable for veterinarians, vet techs/nurses, vet students, research scientists and aquarists/aquarium husbandry staff.
