A veterinary science degree takes around 5 to 6 years of study, depending on the university.

Australia has 7 universities offering undergraduate veterinary science courses.

These include:

• Murdoch University, Perth WA – where Drs Richmond Loh & Alistair Brown attended.

• University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria.
• Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, NSW.
• James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland.

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.
