This handbook serves as a quick reference or guide to aid in understanding and solving problems that require calculations. Aquaculture involves problem solving and knowing how to perform various calculations correctly. This capability can translate into economic benefits and sound management decisions.
This would complement my Fish Vetting Medicines book nicely – https://thefishvet.com/2012/11/26/fish-vetting-medicines-formulary-of-fish-treatments-3/

I’m sometimes called a fish doctor by clients, but I would more rightly be called a fish vet.
Often people ask, "Do you have to be a veterinarian and then do further study to become a fish vet?"
The answer is, "Yes."
Legally speaking, you have to be a registered veterinarian to perform medical procedures on animals (which includes fishes). Making diagnoses, and treating or prescribing treatments constitute "acts of veterinary science".
Post-graduation, I sat rigorous examinations to become a Member of the ANZCVS in the subjects of Aquatic Animal Health, and then in Pathobiology (study of diseases). I also earned a Masters of Philosophy in Pathology, and have since become a Certified Aquatic Veterinarian. But, all this study doesn’t beat getting real-life experience, which has been considerable since graduating in 2001.
There are however, courses that you can do to learn more about aquatic animal health that don’t require vet degree. For instance, the MSc in Aquatic Production and Veterinary Health
http://www.cityu.edu.hk/svm/en/Programmes/MSAPVH/Introduction/index.html
A bachelors degree is a prerequisite, and preference is given to applicants with academic background in biology, marine science, environmental science, and/or veterinary science.
It’s the newest course of its kind and the curriculum looks comprehensive. A great way for any fish health professional to expand on their fish expertise.

Do you know how many types of parasites your fish could be carrying? They might look ok to you now, but these microscopic bugs are just waiting for the right time to burst out and take your fish.
In this video, I’m showing you a common scenario where although I was asked in, to treat one condition (fish lice), I found multiple other problems (poor water flow, Trichodina and flukes). And, how do you remedy all this? It can all get pretty complicated, but we came up with the solution.
Watch the diagnostic and treatment procedures here – https://youtu.be/sO7tQMziq30
Spring is just round the corner, and as the water warms up, so too will the activities of the pesky parasites.
Get your fish vet-checked before it’s too late.

Q: What did the little Syngnathid say to The Fish Vet?
A: Hi Doc, I’m feeling a little hoarse.

Serious fish or shellfish diseases are called ‘notifiable’ because you must immediately report that you suspect or know about them to the Department of Fisheries (or their equivalent in your state/country). You must tell them immediately if your fish or shellfish:
1. Could be infected with a reportable disease (you must report it even if you only suspect an infection).
2. Are dying in larger numbers than normal.
3. Are affected by unusual deaths.
4. If you know about or suspect a reportable disease but don’t report it you could be fined.
Ask your fish veterinarian if you’re unsure.
