Preserve batch health
Detect imbalances early and maintain animals in good health.
Aquaculture Health
Veterinary support for aquaculture facilities, combining prevention, diagnostics, biosecurity and health monitoring to control risks and protect stocks.
The issues we help you address
Limit epizootics
Reduce the circulation of pathogens and associated losses.
Understanding mortalities
Link the signs observed to animals, water and the livestock system.
Secure introductions
Structuring quarantines, flows, cleaning and disinfection.
Meet the requirements
Reconciling traceability, medicines, well-being and production constraints.
Expertise tailored to your organisation
Biosecurity
Structure quarantine, movements, cleaning and disinfection to limit the introduction and spread of pathogens within production systems.
Testing & diagnosis
Select relevant samples and tests to investigate mortality, clinical signs or reduced performance within farmed stocks.
Therapeutics
Tailor individual or group prescriptions and treatments to species, production systems and operational constraints.
Animal welfare
Assess water, stocking density, feeding, handling and husbandry practices to improve animal welfare over time.
Advice & support
Support new or evolving farms, technical choices and the organisation of veterinary health monitoring.
Training
Train teams in clinical observation, biosecurity, sampling and the responsible use of veterinary medicines.

Evaluate breeding
Species, lots, water, facilities and health history.
-
Prioritize risks
Identification of probable causes and critical points.
-

Long-term support and evolution of recommendations.
Prescribing and treatment in aquaculture
Vetofish supports individual and group treatment decisions in aquaculture, including in-feed or bath protocols, environmental controls, outcome monitoring, traceability, responsible antibiotic use and applicable withdrawal periods for food-producing animals.
Farm health is built over time by connecting the animals, water quality, husbandry practices and the health history of every batch.
The veterinarian’s role
Specialist veterinary support throughout the organisation’s health approach.
- Prevent, diagnose and manage health problems
- Organise health monitoring and welfare assessments
- Analyse risk factors and recommend corrective measures
- Structure biosecurity, introductions and quarantine
- Support treatment decisions and communication with authorities
Frequently asked questions +
When should a farm establish veterinary health monitoring?+
Monitoring is valuable from farm start-up, during facility changes and when mortality, poor growth or recurrent disease occurs. Planned visits also help anticipate higher-risk periods.
Do you support food-producing aquaculture?+
Yes. Support then considers group health, traceability, food safety, medicine status and any withdrawal periods required under the applicable framework.
Do you work with ornamental-fish businesses?+
Yes. Vetofish supports breeders, importers and wholesalers with quarantine, mixed-origin groups, post-transport mortality, treatment and prevention of cross-contamination.
How do you investigate mortality in a group?+
Investigation combines group history, timeline, animal examination, post-mortem findings, water quality, feeding, husbandry and targeted samples to distinguish infectious, environmental and production-related causes.
Can you support hatchery biosecurity?+
Yes. Assessment may cover broodstock, eggs, early life stages, water systems, staff and equipment flows, cleaning, disinfection and separation of groups.
