Australian & New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists – Aquatic Animal Health Chapter
The Aquatic Animal Health Chapter of the College just had its AGM and yours truly has been nominated to take the post of Secretary.
Are there any veterinarians around the world who are thinking of sitting for the membership exams in 2012. If yes, then please let us know and we can organise mentors/supervisors and examiners.
For those unfamiliar with the ANZCVSc,
The principal objects of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists are:
- To advance the study of veterinary science and to bring together members of the veterinary profession for their common benefit
- to hold, conduct or arrange examinations of professional proficiency for the purpose of determining qualification for Membership of the College and Fellowship of the College.
The College has a definite brief to encourage veterinarians in practice, in industry, in government employment, and in other fields to seek to improve themselves and to provide additional post-graduate qualifications as a goal.
Membership of the College should signify the following:
"The candidate is expected to demonstrate a high level of interest and competence in a given area of veterinary activity. This is judged by that standard of knowledge and understanding, practical skills, attitude, methodology and communication which would make the person suitable to give professional advice to veterinary colleagues not similarly qualified on problems or procedures often encountered or used in general practice, in the relevant area of veterinary endeavour."

What do you call a pregnant goldfish?
You wouldn’t, because goldfish never get pregnant! Their eggs are released to be fertilized on the outside of the body. There are however, some fish that do get pregnant. The most common example, and as their grouping name suggests, are the livebearers such as guppies, mollies and platies. The male of the species delivers their milt into the female by way of a modified anal fin that is curled to form a straw-like inseminator. The female will carry their babies to term and then give birth to live young.
So, although goldfish don’t get pregnant, other types of fish can.
What my grand mother taught me about choosing fresh fish
Look at the eyes, make sure they are clear and not sunken.
Look at their gills, make sure they are bright red and not dull or dark. Look and feel the slime, make sure it is not too thick and not too fishy.
This is a fresh snapper.
Did you know this about Recycled paper?
