Treating Nemo..

Yeah.. for those who always ask me questions whether I learn about fish in my course.. Yes I do.. In fact, I'm learning about them now.. Becoming a fish vet can be quite fun , and *ka-ching* *ka-ching* well paid ! Besides, I'm really really interested in marine mammals and stuff.. who knows, I'll be a marine vet someday..

Why *ka-ching*? Well, some fishes are worth a LOT of money you see.. be it ornamental or aquaculture.. I learnt that a tuna fish.. yes, one tuna fish .. I don't know what type.. but it's those that they export to Japan for sushi, is worth a few thousand dollars!! The breeder would definitely be worried if he sees four or five of those tunas starting to swim funny.. and he calls the vet in.. and voila, the vet asks for a large sum of money.. smaller than what the breeder is about to lose la.. duh..

Had a fish practical yesterday... I learnt how to anaesthetise fish, and recover them back to normal.. Really amazing to see them konk out enough for you to do some procedures on them.. and then after a few minutes seeing them swimming around happily again! The other part of the prac involves dissecting barramundis.. Was so tempted to take some fillets back home to cook! such a waste.. but the barramundis weren't so fresh after all.. Do you know that a barramundi becomes a male after a certain age, and then swaps over to become a female at a later age? Now you know.. ho ho..

Ok ,I really need to study.. am having a 45% mid sem about ruminants on monday..
moo moo..
