Description
A thorough understanding of the life support equipment with clinical significance is necessary for the pet fish practitioner. Along with examining both the mechanical and biological filtration, of critical importance is the understanding of the circulation, gas exchange and temperature control and the interactions between these factors. These lecture will describe the design and function of aquasystems with an emphasis on koi ponds. Many clinical cases will be used to illustrate the principles described.
Learning Objectives
1. Learn the components of the life support systems used in pet fish care
2. Learn about the interactions of water circulation, aeration and temperature control in pet fish care
