Marine working group

The aquafauna working group organizes lectures and field trips related to all living things that live in our oceans and waters. For example, we pay attention to marine mammals such as whales and seals, fish, sharks, octopuses, and much more. 

​

 

The working group organizes a wide range of activities, which are both veterinary relevant, as well as activities that focus more on the biology or ecology of particular species. For example, lectures have been organized on veterinary medicine in seals, what to do with a fish on consultation, as well as lectures on the physiology of octopuses or anatomy of sensory organs in marine mammals. From time to time fun excursions are also organized, for example to a seal sanctuary. 

​

 

Because there is little or nothing covered in the veterinary curriculum about aquafauna, this working group offers members and students an opportunity to learn more about this subject and come into contact with specialists within this world. Would you like to help organize these fun activities? Then sign up soon!
