Two specialist veterinarians serving aquaculture, public aquariums and research.

Two veterinarians, one shared expertise

Co-founders and co-directors of Vetofish since 2006, Dr Emmanuel Leguay and Dr Emmanuel Meunier work exclusively in aquatic-animal health and welfare.

Veterinary health support

They support aquaculture, public aquariums and research in disease prevention and diagnosis, health surveillance, biosecurity, therapeutics, reproduction and the improvement of husbandry practices.

Field-based practice

On-site consultations and interventions, post-mortem examinations, sampling, interpretation of results, husbandry advice and establishment monitoring across a wide variety of freshwater and marine species.

Research expertise

Vetofish monitors aquatic facilities associated with CNRS, Inserm and INRAE, supporting health surveillance, mortality investigation, infectious and zoonotic risk prevention, welfare and experimental practices.

Training and knowledge sharing

They train veterinarians, researchers, technicians, keepers and aquaculture professionals in pathology, diagnosis, biosecurity, therapeutics, welfare and the particular needs of aquatic species.

Commitment to RESAMA

They contribute to RESAMA — the French Health Study Network for Aquatic Model Animals and Wildlife — through health visits, monitoring tools, analysis and good-practice guidance. Emmanuel Meunier is particularly involved in its development and digital tools.
