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 🙂
Have a FINtastic week! R <+>{

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 –

Check out the leading story (http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/landline/RA1701Q012S00#playing) on the White Spot disease outbreak affecting shrimp/prawn farms and native wild crustacea in Queensland and New South Wales.
Basically they’re saying, if you’re a fish farmer, don’t rely on the government. You need to put in place, your own biosecurity, push harder and shout louder.
One major factor I believe is missing, is the lack of veterinary input. Terrestrial farmed animals have been able to evade so many exotic diseases due to the dilligence and maturity of the industry, and the high level of veterinary input via the government and private sectors working collaboratively. I’d like to see this happening in the aquatic farming sectors.

During this time, there would be teams working in feasibility studies on whether it’s possible to eradicate the crustacean white spot syndrome viral disease.
If eradication is not feasible, then a national decision would need to be made, with support for developing a national management program.
Resourcing would be adjusted and likely reduce, as the ‘transition to management plan’ occurs.
A management plan would focus on limiting the spread of the WSSV and minimising the impact on affected industries.
This work would include identifying key areas where further research and information is required to improve management outcomes and market access.
Additional surveillance and testing of WSSV would take place within the current control zone to provide confidence that the WSSV is not present in Australia. The government may use new technology such as environmental DNA (eDNA). This will provide quantitative data surveillance of wild crustaceans. And this is a technique pioneered by our colleague, Dr Giana from The Fish Vet team for her PhD.
The Quarantine Area Notice to minimise the risk of spreading WSSV within the state, including treatment of commercial shrimp would remain in place.
