*   Part One - Resource Bases Including Aquatic Animal Health

One thing to keep in mind in using the following information is that there are numerous gaps in coverage, because what is provided is based on what can be found by searching on the Internet.  Those centers and sources in aquatic animal health not included are because they did not show up in the various searches made on Google, Yahoo, and elsewhere, under such search terms as "fish health," "aquatic animal health,"" fish diseases" and various other combinations with  "news/newsletters," etc.  Some of the items included did not come from our searches, but were known from other sources.  The information is current as of Feb. 10, 2007.  See bottom of this article as to how to inform us of what is missing, needing changes, or whatever.

Please note that information in quotes under the individual listings is directly from the web sites cited.  Information in brackets is from Robert Rofen, PhD, the preparer of this article.  For further information, the user should go directly to the web sites for text and illustrations.
