| Introduction to Fish Health Services |
 Fish get sick and die from a variety of causes including bacteria, viruses, parasites, environmental and man-made toxins, and poor water quality. Diagnosis and treatment of many fish health problems requires sophisticated equipment and specialized training. In Arkansas, fish diagnostic services for fish farms and private ponds are provided by the Fish Diseases Diagnostic Laboratories of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. In order for a fish disease problem to be diagnosed, sick fish must be collected and submitted to the disease diagnostic laboratory. The proper collection and handling of the sample is critical for an accurate diagnosis. This
page describes what services are available, how to collect and ship fish samples, and provides addresses and phone numbers for contacting the appropriate diagnostic laboratory.
