Aquatic veterinarians work in diverse settings under a range of working conditions. Their work is crucial to maintaining the health of aquarium and zoo animal populations as well as wild populations in fish and game reserves, national parks and other wild settings. Leading a team of technicians in a clinical setting or on expeditions into the field, aquatic veterinarians track and report on the health of specific animals, monitored populations in the wild and captive populations in research settings. Aquatic veterinarians are specialists in providing medical care for marine species. As such their work is crucial to maintaining captive populations at a stable level and ensuring humane conditions for the animals. Those who work in natural settings help keep wild populations at optimal levels and prevent the spread of diseases in wetlands, rivers and lakes.
