Abstract

[Extract] The welfare of aquatic animals around the world has been subject to increasing attention over recent years, and this trend is set to continue. Veterinarians play an important role in dealing with a diverse range of aquatic animal species including marine mammals, fin fish, amphibians and invertebrates such as molluscs and crustaceans. With the increasing use of aquatic animals for farming, in research and as environmental sentinels (as early indicators of environmental issues), the demand for veterinary input has followed suit, and veterinary graduates need to be fully prepared for practising in these areas. Some of the important issues that veterinarians may face in regards to aquatic animal welfare and practice are outlined below.
