	Aquatic animal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Animal environments are classified as either aquatic (water), terrestrial (land), or amphibious (water and land).
		This term can be applied to aquatic or sea mammals such as those in the order Cetacea (whales), which cannot survive on land, as well as four-footed mammals like the river otter (Lutra canadensis) and beavers (family Castoridae).
		Aquatic animals are often of special concern to conservationists because of the delicacy of their environments.

		It also includes aquatic (Warm-blooded egg-laying vertebrates characterized by feathers and forelimbs modified as wings) birds that either swim, wade or dive on the water itself and live outside the water.

	National Organic Standards Board
		Organically produced aquatic animals must be raised in a discrete population, similar to a herd of cattle or flock of poultry, that is brought under continuous organic management beginning no later than the second day of the animal's life.
		Aquatic animals captured from free ranging populations that have not been under a producer’s continuous management beginning no later than the second day of the animals’ life are not suitable for organic certification.
		In principle, producers of wild captured aquatic animals are capable of documenting that a specific animal was captured at a given time and location and handled in accordance with the standards from that time on.

	Aquatic Animal Life on Javs
		Animals (and plants) that live in an aquatic environment over time have become suited to their habitat.
		To other animals, this would be a problem, you may notice if you stay in the bath or swim under water for a long period of time that your hands and feet become wrinkled.
		The opposite problem exists in animals that live in the oceans of Javs, where the salty water means that water is at a lower concentration than most organisms.

		Aquatic animals are susceptible to the same classes of health problems seen in all other animals, including diseases of infectious, toxic, neoplastic, nutritional and other causes.
		The AVMA also recommends that non-veterinarians considering a pesticide treatment for an aquatic animal holding facility contact a veterinarian with experience in the management of aquatic animal diseases as an important step in the preparation of an appropriate integrated pest management plan.

	Preventative medicine: dealing with aquatic animal diseases in Asia
		But in addition to the human health risks which can be posed by some animal illnesses, such outbreaks can cripple food production sectors on a region-wide scale, leaving thousands of farmers and producers without sustenance or income.
		Indeed, across the Asian region, flare-ups of aquatic animal diseases are becoming increasingly common.
		In Asia, where millions of people depend on fishing and fish farming for their livelihoods, aquatic animal diseases are a growing problem.

	IMPORTANCE OF STANDARDISATION AND VALIDATION OF MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES FOR AQUATIC ANIMAL PATHOGENS AND ...
		Laboratories involved in the diagnosis and/or health certification for aquatic animal diseases are recommended to be fully conversant with the technical procedures and protocols in the OIE Diagnostic Manual.
		Molecular biological tests for diagnosis of clinical outbreaks or for identification of pathogens isolated during health surveillance programmes are described for 5 of the fish diseases (epizootic haematopoietic necrosis, bacterial kidney disease, piscirickettsiosis, Gyrodactylosis and viral encephalopathy and retinopathy), and 2 of the diseases of crustacea (nuclear polyhedrosis baculoviroses and white spot disease).
		To facilitate international trade in aquatic animals, it is imperative that specific disease-free certification of a farm, zone or country provides the same level of confidence irrespective of the exporting country.

	Preparing for a Career in Aquatic Animal Medicine
		Because aquatic animal health is a highly specialized field, and the dynamics of the aquatic environment are key to the health and well-being of the animals that live there, many careers require education to the master's level.
		Koi practice, as a component of companion animal practice, is growing, and this is an area that offers significant opportunity for private practitioners to work with aquatic animals.
		Because there are few internships and residency programs available in aquatic animal medicine and most of these are fairly new, another means of gaining experience and training in the field is graduate school.
