Friday fish funnies
We’ve had a couple if good responses to Marlin’s joke. Which do you like best? A1 or A2?
In Finding Nemo, Marlin never finished telling his joke.
"A mollusc went up to a sea cucumber…"
A1: And the mollusc said to the sea cucumber, "You look cool with a capital ‘Sea’!"
A2: And the sea cucumber enquired: "What’s up? You looked shell-shocked!"

The collateral damage: giving carp KHV can lead to native fish kills through the EHN virus.
Excerpts from an article in Weekly Times:
A decision to release the virus in Australia is due at the end of the year, once the National Carp Control Plan is delivered to the Federal Government...
Some anglers fear introduced redfin numbers would explode, eating native fish eggs and spreading the EHN [epizootic hematopoietic necrosis] virus, which infects native fish…
recreational fishing conservation group OzFish chief executive Craig Copeland said in a lot of locations certain species would not exist, so would need to be restocked...

Aquatic Veterinary Medicine – Specific to cultured, display and wild aquatic life
2018 SeaVet Course Registration Opens Today!
I’ve been lucky enough to attend this course through the George Alexander Fellowship granted by the International Specialised Skills Institute. I had an excellent time learning so many things about aquatic veterinary medicine.
For pictures of my experiences, follow this link – http://www.tinyurl.com/seavet
It’s pretty much, aquatic veterinary medicine dealing with display and wild, bony fish, rays, sharks, sea turtles, penguins, pinnipeds, cetaceans and manatees; their behaviour, husbandry, diseases, diagnosis, medicine, rehabilitation and strandings.

From the official website:
SeaVet Clinical Training is an intensive nine day course designed to teach veterinary medical students and veterinarians through didactic lecture, case-based problem-solving and practical experience.
The program also features an educational and interactive hands-on training.
This is a three credit professional class through the University of Florida. Academic credit will only be granted to UF veterinary students.
Continuing education credits may be earned by veterinarians. This course has a maximum of 25 allowed by the state of Florida. If requested, a form will be provided at start of the course to keep track of your hours. If you are not in Florida, your state has the right to refuse the credits. However, the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine is accredited with NAVC and out-of-state veterinarians have not been denied credits after attending past SeaVet courses.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This course is being offered exclusively for Veterinary Students and Licensed Veterinarians. Registrations will not be accepted otherwise.
What human foods cannot be fed to pet fish?
We can’t think of anything that humans can eat, that is directly toxic to fishes.
Two things we’ve identified as being potentially a problem are:
1. No sugary foods because the carbon in sugars can lead to bacterial blooms, leading to oxygen depletion and fish mortalities.
2. No oily or fatty foods because it can create an oily film that will prevent gas diffusion at the water surface, and fish will suffocate. Plus it’s not good for their long-term health.
