Title: Zebrafish Husbandry Course
Post by: BillT on July 14, 2014, 03:52:24 PM
For the last several months, one of my main projects has been working on a committee working to develop an on-line course for teaching techs Zebrafish lab husbandry:

Here is one of the modules I mostly made (basic Zebrafish biology):

QuoteBill do some people go on to setting up personal aquariums after learning to care for the fish in research?

This is a community college course aimed people who twill work in a lab taking care of fish.
Some of these people might have already taken aquaculture classes. Lab jobs pay better than aquaculture jobs, but aquaculture (or fish tank) knowledge (like water chem, fish diseases, water system functioning) underlies much of the info covered.

Don't really know. Some of these people would probably already have fish tanks since a lot of them are fish geeks.
