Theory, Design and Construction of Husbandry System (E-Aquarium Conference 2021)
Life Support Systems • 59m
Patrick Donston's (Absolutely Fish Inc) presentation at the E-Aquarium Conference 2021. Life support, mechanics, water quality, husbandry practices and disease recognition are learned by professional aquarists. The practicality of implementation from day-to-day can be problematic.
No disease, even those that affect humans, has ever been controlled without prevention. Thus, maintaining multiple aquatic systems, whether freshwater or marine, presents numerous challenges.
Effective work, proper sampling, and evaluation must be time efficient. This lecture outlines maintenance protocols, water testing, and interpretation of data, considered solutions, record keeping, and setting up a documented husbandry system with impactful results.
