On November 12th, I had the privilege of presenting to a group from Fisheries Management Scotland on identifying and managing parasites in wild fish populations. The session focused on: Finding & Identifying Parasites Post-Mortem Examinations Importance of Legislation Sample Collection & Storage This educational effort aims to raise awareness among fish health professionals, farm managers, and others involved in fish health. By sharing techniques and insights, we work together to enhance fish welfare and tackle health issues from the ground up. This effort builds on recent research, such as Brewster's study on UK freshwater parasites and Urquhart's survey on wild sea trout parasites in Scotland. These studies highlight the complex dynamics of parasite-host relationships and underscore the importance of monitoring parasites to protect fish health. By sharing practical techniques and the latest findings, we’re working together to enhance fish welfare and equip professionals on the front lines of fish care. #FishHealth #AquaticVets #FishParasites #WildSalmon #Aquaculture #FishVeterinarian

Fantastic to be a small part of delivering this wild fish health workshop held in the superb new facilities at the Rural and Veterinary Innovation Centre (RAVIC) on the Inverness Campus. Thanks to Fisheries Management Scotland and fellow fish vets Chris Matthews, Alison Brough, and Ronnie Soutar of Fish Veterinary Society. RAVIC is a major asset to the veterinary and animal health world in the north- exciting to now be able to put on a workshop of this quality right here in the capital of the Highlands.

Proud to have had the opportunity to present at WVEPAH, diving deep into essential topics for advancing veterinary care. From treatment strategies to vaccination protocols and navigating the veterinary cascade, these sessions were all about bridging the gap between day-one competence and real-world practice. It's always rewarding to share knowledge that can help improve animal health and ensure compliance with the latest regulations. Grateful for the chance to contribute to our profession's continued growth!?#Fishvet #AnimalHealth #WVEPAH #ContinuousLearning

In-Depth Presentations at WVEPAH: Beyond Day-One Competence I had the privilege of delivering four comprehensive presentations at WVEPAH, focusing on critical areas that go beyond day-one competence in veterinary practice. These sessions covered treatment strategies, prescribing protocols, and a thorough exploration of the veterinary cascade. We also delved into vaccination protocols, effective vaccination strategies, and the often-complex registration process for vaccines. A key aspect of the presentations was understanding how to apply these treatments and vaccination strategies in the field, ensuring they align with real-world challenges and regulations. We discussed the importance of the vaccine registration process and its direct implications for prescribing, especially under the cascade system, which is vital for ensuring safe and effective animal care. These detailed presentations aimed to equip veterinary professionals with both the technical knowledge and practical tools necessary to navigate these areas, providing better animal health outcomes and compliance with regulatory standards.?

WVEPAH Aquaculture Course in Padova – A Day of Hands-On Learning and Lively Discussion It was a pleasure to lecture at the WVEPAH Aquaculture course in Padova, where we combined theoretical knowledge with practical fieldwork. The course included a site visit to a local fish farm, offering participants an invaluable opportunity to engage directly with the farmer, ask questions, and gain real-world insights into the industry. During the visit, we conducted a clinical review of the farm setup, assessing the health of the fish based on clinical signs observed during our walkthrough. This hands-on experience allowed attendees to apply their veterinary knowledge in a real-world scenario. The afternoon session was dedicated to reviewing the findings from our visit. What followed was a lively and dynamic discussion, where we not only challenged the advice presented but also explored how it might be received by the farmer. The conversation shifted toward strategies for engaging with farmers, emphasizing the importance of communication to ensure that recommendations are both practical and beneficial in improving animal health and welfare. The day highlighted the complexity of veterinary practice in aquaculture, where balancing scientific expertise with the farmer’s perspective is crucial for achieving meaningful improvements. Looking forward to more opportunities to collaborate and innovate in the field!

a good day in London again promoting aquatic medicine

a great loss to the fish vet community. I remember our correspondence fondly. during my PhD I published a paper on RMS. as the editor he wrote me a personal letter to congratulate me on the accomplishment. He asked from time to time how the research was going. Best wishes to his family and friends.

Aquatic Vets is honoured to help with Knowledge transfer. At Aquatic Vets we believe in a higher standard of fish vetting. This course will raise the bar for all fish vets, setting a new global standard.
