The College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University is pleased to announce the 2025 AQUAVET® I, II course offerings. They are aquatic veterinary medicine education programs that currently consist of two courses that will be presented at Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI in June 2025.

AQUAVET® I: An Introduction to Aquatic Veterinary Medicine is a 4-week course (26 May - 22 June 2025) intended primarily for veterinary students.

AQUAVET® II: Comparative Pathology of Aquatic Animals is a 2-week course (26 May - 8 June 2025) that is oriented toward the pathology of diseases of aquatic invertebrates and fish that are used in biomedical research, encountered in display aquaria and are of importance in commercial aquaculture.

AQUAVET® Summer Research Fellow (one offered) is an 8 week research program, usually studying fish disease at a lab at Cornell University. There is no tuition and this student will receive a stipend of $3,800 after completing the 8 weeks.

Fish eyes don’t work the same as mammal eyes. A fish’s lens is round. It focuses by moving the whole lens to zoom in or zoom out.

Just because you haven’t added fish in a while, doesn’t mean they’re immune to parasites! After replacing half of the filters and adding some questionable bacteria products, this pond broke with both Trichodina and Dactylogyrus. Need to be careful with our medication protocol in order to get all these fish treated! #fishvet #fishveterinarian #koi #koipond #parasite

Our Fish Diagnostic Lab took place this last Friday in Austin, TX. Many thanks to the Austin Pond Society for helping us find a wonderful koi and goldfish owner to work with. All of our attendees tested various water quality samples and did physical exams on the resident koi and goldfish. #fishvet #fishveterinarian #waterquality #koi #goldfish

AQUAVET I Fish Surgery lab! So happy to be back this year for the fish surgery lab at AQUAVET. Students performed anesthesia, spay/neuter, splenectomy and enucleation. Both groups did an awesome job! Yes, they are stripers but this is an EDUCATIONAL lab. #aquavet #aquavet2024 #fishvet #fishveterinarian #fishsurgery #surgery

How to turn a very large pond into a much smaller pond. Rather than waste time chasing the fish and stressing them out more, a simple seine net makes everything so much easier. #fishvet #fishveterinarian #behindthescenes #quicktip #secret #fishpond

No matter how “reputable” your dealer, always quarantine your new fish additions! This is the third pond we’ve seen with an outbreak of highly deadly white spot disease, a parasite named Ich, short for Ichthyophthirius multifiliis. Thankfully, given the history of where these fish were added from, we brought exactly the medication they required for a speedy recovery. Quarantine requires isolation of new fish for 4-6 weeks. If your store says they do it for you, always check their water temperature, number of vendors per tank, equipment cleaning protocol and any prophylactic treatments.

Tis the season for spring parasite infestations! Even though no fish have been added to this pond in many years, these Trichodina parasites decided to take advantage of these koi and goldfish. Please understand that most fish are already carrying low levels of parasites, but as long as they stay healthy, they can avoid heavy infestations and clinical disease. Now is the time to check your water chemistry and pick up a new bag of food! See you soon for your spring health check appointments!!

White spot disease aka Ichthyophthirius multifiliis aka whirling balls of death. Treatment for this parasite can be tricky since these encysted tomont is resistant to treatment. However, once batched, this ball can release 1,000 infective parasites causing rapid disease spread.
