Aquatic veterinary medicine can be incorporated successfully into both companion and
livestock production practices. Veterinarians may be called upon for VFDs or health exams for
aquaculture production clients as well as questions from clients with pet fish. DVM students
and graduates of institutions lacking formal aquatic training may be unsure of the opportunities
that exist to further their knowledge and experience in the field of aquatic animal medicine.
Others may be looking to expand on the training they have already received. Attendees will be
guided through the formal and informal training experiences of the author as well as learn
about additional opportunities available. This dynamic talk includes descriptions of the
trainings, an honest assessment of each opportunity, photographs, videos and time for
questions participants may have about the trainings. This presentation will also provide
practitioners with resources for consulting or connecting clients with experienced aquatic
veterinarians
