specific diseases and treatments will also be discussed.
Lecture topics include: basic introduction to fish, fish
biology, and fish physiology; introduction to fish health management
principles; water quality; pathogens (parasites, bacteria, viruses,
and fungi); treatments; and biosecurity. Hands-on wet labs
include: water chemistry testing and analysis, fish anatomy
and necropsy, and how to check for fish parasites. The
workshop will focus on freshwater systems and fish; however,
important marine diseases and treatments will also be discussed.
