The Fish Vet’s team is arguably the largest conglomerate of aquatic veterinarians in the southern hemisphere.

Together, we assist fish farmers to find correct diagnosis.

Our team has experience working overseas in Brazil, Scotland, Thailand, UAE, Singapore and Tasmania (so OK, the latter is part of Australia).

Our team of qualified veterinarians are committed to assisting farmers to find the causes of conditions that affect the health of their farmed fish and shrimp. A confirmed diagnosis helps to ensure correct management or treatment, and this in turn leads to increased profits for farmers.

We don’t just do fish.
We ONLY do fish.

We’ve registered Fish Veterinarians in Perth (WA), Melbourne/Brunswick (Victoria), and Sydney/Gosford (NSW); and Aquatic Animal Health Specialists in Townsville & Bribie Island (Qld). We can come to you.
If you’re not in these locations, you can still access our services from remote locations. Ask us how.

The Fish Vets can be contacted at thefishvet@gmail.com or on +61 421 822 383 for all fish health related work.

Together, our team of aquatic veterinarians and fish health specialists services crustacea (prawns/shrimp), finfish aquaculture (salmonids, barramundi, silver perch, and more), molluscs (abalone, oysters), ornamental pet fishes (koi, goldfish, Cichlids, marines), public aquaria (sharks, rays, Syngnathids), educational institutions (zebrafish), and more.

PUBLIC LECTURE:
Fisheries and Global Warming: Impacts on marine ecosystems
– Professor Daniel Pauly takes a historical look at fisheries, and comments on the current challenges of global food security

Thu, 25 May 2017 18:00 – Theatre Auditorium, The University Club of Western Australia

Professor Daniel Pauly
The period following the Second World War saw a massive increase in fishing effort, particularly in the 1960s. However, crashes due to this overfishing began to be reflected in global catch trends in the 1970s, and intensified in the 1980s and 1990s. In response, the industrialised countries of the Northern Hemisphere (where over fishing-induced catch declines appeared first) moved their effort toward deeper waters, and toward the south, i.e., to the coasts of developing countries, and beyond into the southern hemisphere, all the way to Antarctica. Now, in the second decade of the 21st century, the global expansion of fisheries is completed, and the real global catch, which is much higher than officially reported, peaked in the late 1980s and is now rapidly declining. In parallel, the collateral damage to marine ecosystems and biodiversity continues to increase. Several factors act to prevent the public in developed countries from realising the depth of the crisis fisheries are in, notably the increased imports by developed countries, of seafood from developing countries. Also, the misleading perception that aquaculture can substitute for declining catches is widespread. In some countries, notably the U.S., stocks are being rebuilt, but elsewhere, the failure to respond creatively to these clear trends bode ill for the next decades. Indeed, the effects of global warming (productivity declines in the tropics, widespread disruptions at high latitudes), which have been increasingly felt in the last decades, will strongly impact fisheries and global seafood supply.

I’ve just bought some rainbow trout for my home aquaponics from the

Q: Why do Romanians snigger when we talk about koi?
A: because “coi” is slang for testicles!
So the next time your fish vet says they’re going to see a koi client, or someone asks you to see their koi, you can let them know this little fact 🙂

I love crustaceans because they remind me of little robots, with their jointed appendages and their hard exoskeleton.

Here we have a brilliant blue marron, which used to be rather rare.

These would make a unique aquarium collection –
