Fish culturists and management biologists were taught a wide variety of material including anatomy of fish, fish health management, microscope use, necropsy procedures, parasitology, bacteriology, virology, nutritional and environmental problems, treatment calculations and legal chemicals for fish use. The 38-hour course, with half lecture and half laboratory sessions, was taught to 15 attendees. The attendees were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, which made the class very lively and informative. The evaluations from the attendees on the quality of the course and instructors was excellent and well received. The lab and lecture facilities were provided by the New Mexico State University with the cooperation of Dr. Colleen Caldwell, assistant coop unit leader USGS/BRD. Special thanks to all who made the class a success!
