Who uses our services?
In addition to individuals with an ornamental pond or aquarium, we also visit businesses, pond stores especially, who want to make sure their fish are sold in perfect condition. Also aquaculture farms that sell live fish for consumption. Angling clubs also often need veterinary guidance, such as after the release of new fish or in cases of mortality.

Most examinations are done on the spot at your home : microscopy, water analysis, ultrasound, radiography, blood tests, …. Samples for further analysis are examined in my own lab for infectious germs such as bacteria, think of Aeromonas spp. and viruses such as the Herpes Virus, ….
