MICROALGAE INDUSTRY: MYTHS AND REALITIES 28 APRIL 2016 AT 4PM GMT

Host – Victor Chepurnov, Research and Development Manager at Tom Algae Language – English Join Victor Chepurnov as he discusses microalgae in the context of the aquaculture industry.

Overview microalgae and aquaculture Aquaculture: “Since most artificial substitutes are inferior to live microalgae as feed for the critical stages in the life cycles of several aquacultural species, a growing demand for microalgae will go hand in hand with the expected growth of aquaculture throughout the world.” (A. Richmond, 2007).

Answer: On the seabed!

Have a FINtastic week! R <+>{

This is obviously an attention-grabbing headline.

Have a read of this article (link) and see what you think.

This act is not all that unusual in a variety of species. Some veterinarians involved in breeding animals do it for dogs, horses, cattle… I’m sure for many more other species. In my case, my clients and I strip koi for example.

I remember when I was an undergraduate, I had to hold a huge flask-like contraption at for a horse. It was scary – not just the big heavy stallion and mare that could crush me, but also the tree-trunk sized, snake-like appendage that I had to redirect into the flask! Glad I the only horses I deal with now, are seahorses. 

Yours sincerely,

Dr Richmond Loh

Autumn is a good time of the year to book for a health check-up for pond fish, because their immune system function will start to be in decline. Right now, the water temperature is still warm enough that we can help fish recover from any diseases they may be harbouring at this time. A timely diagnosis is what you need. Fish need to be examined all over, and microscopically, and waters tested.

I’m happy to let you know that we now have TheFishVet team of representatives based in Perth, Melbourne and Townsville. Meet TheFishVet team at –http://thefishvet.com.au/about_us.html

Please give me a call, or send me an email to arrange a site visit.
