Aquatic Animal Health Chapter of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (ANZCVS) – excerpt from the December 2015 College Courier.
Message from the Aquatic Animal Health Chapter President
2015 was a busy year for our small chapter with our first successful candidate for Fellowship. Dr Roger Chong is congratulated on his efforts and has set a standard to which others can aspire.
The Chapter will be hosting two days of activities at the 2016 College Science Week [7-8 July 2016] and we are putting the final touches to plans for an international guest speaker. We are also seeking to investigate a joint session with other chapters. The program will be looking to enlighten practitioners who may be undertaking small amounts of aquatic animal health work in their day to day, on some of the emerging and interesting aspects of aquatic animal practice. If you are a practitioner looking for a sea change there is a very wide scope to apply your investigative and problem solving skills to helping pet, production and wild populations of aquatic animals.
If we are to continue eating fish then we will be farming the majority consumed. With intensive farming comes health management of stock under production and so there has been and will remain an increasing demand for veterinarians to lead aquatic animal health management.
Finally I would encourage members in all other chapters to become members of the AAH Chapter, particularly those of you who are undertaking laboratory diagnostics. You will be interested in how much overlap there is, with what you may see as disparate pursuits.
Look forward to seeing you at College week.

Seasons greetings from The Fish Vet.
As the holiday season approaches we’d like to take the time to say a big thank you to all our clients. 2015 has been a great year for TheFishVet, especially with opening up a branch in Townsville manned by Giana Bastos Gomes (Aquatic Animal Health Specialist), and having a second veterinarian to help out with my clients in Perth. Our relationship with Boronia Aquarium is still going strong since 2002, and we are glad to be able to continue to help our clients in Melbourne with our experts in ornamental aquarium fish and plants.
We hope you all have a wonderful time over the holiday season and we look forward to meeting and doing business together in 2016.
I will be away from Christmas, till 20 January 2016, having email-contact only.
If you need to get in touch with me, or would like to organise to see my colleagues in:

This drug-delivering PowerGel is the Band-Aid for fish – that works!
Human beings have so many kinds of wound dressing, but it’s unlikely an injured fish can ever wear a Band-Aid quite like humans.
Dr Richmond Loh at TheFishVet has pioneered using a special powder, that when applied to fish skin, will stick to it, forming a gel-like material that can be used as a “smart fish band-aid”.
The PowerGel fish bandage matrix has numerous advantages. It can be applied to any area of the body, including delicate structures like fins; is able to absorb any aqueous liquid, allowing the gel to be impregnated with a variety of medicines like antibiotics, allowing direct localised activity for sustained release over time.
“I’ve been using it clinically for the last 10+ years. It’s worked on freshwater and marine turtles, freshwater and marine teleosts, amphibians and crabs. I’ve only two cases where it’s not stuck (Wobbegong shark skin ulcer, and dolphin mouth ulcer)… I’ve since got veterinarians around the world who work at zoos and aquariums, using it. They think it’s amazing stuff!” says Dr Loh.
The PowerGel Fish Bandage would prove an excellent solution for things like the treatment of skin ulcers, burns, post-incision wound care, finrot and other external skin conditions.
It’s A MUST-HAVE for every fish emergency kit.
