Diseases of Warmwater Fish - Florida, USA
Diseases of Warmwater Fish is an intensive two-week class designed to provide instruction in the methodology of diagnosis and treatment of parasitic, bacterial, viral, nutritional, and environmental diseases of warmwater food fish and aquarium species. This course is open to students, veterinarians, fisheries biologists, aquaculturists, and professional aquarists.
The text Fish Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment by Dr. Ed Noga (Blackwell Publishing, Ames IA) is strongly recommended. An in-house library will be available, but students are asked to bring Dr. Noga’s book if possible. A new edition is due out May 2010, so please don’t buy the first edition!
The course will be held at two consecutive locations. The first week (June 6-11) will be at the University of Florida’s Tropical Aquaculture Laboratory located in Ruskin, Florida (near Tampa). The second week (June 12-17) will be at The Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience, located south of St. Augustine. The last day (June 18) will be held at SeaWorld Orlando. Details.
