SUMMARY:Fish Health Level 1: Introduction to Basic Fish Health Management
DESCRIPTION:VIU’s Natural Resources Extension Program offers three levels of Fish Health training. Beginning with a focus on the key principles of fish health management for aquaculture and aquarium fishes at level 1\, the courses ladder up to highly applied training on advanced techniques for the detection and diagnosis of bacterial pathogens at level 3. While each level is delivered as its own distinct five-day course\, they must be taken sequentially (for example\, level 2 is a prerequisite for attending level 3).
