We recently visited the team at Calverton @FishFarmEA to understand what it takes to produce high quality, healthy #fish to benefit #rivers and #fisheries nationwide. It was a fantastic tour to see and understand each stage of their fish production facility. #TeamEA

Topmouth gudgeon is a highly invasive non-native fish species and pose a significant threat to native biodiversity in our lakes and rivers. They can outcompete native species for food and resources. #INNSWeek @InvasiveSp

#INNS can be spread in many ways, with some being introduced deliberately, others accidentally with other species. At the @EnvAgency Fisheries Laboratory we have detected a number of invasive pathogens and work with fishery owners to protect the environment #INNSweek @InvasiveSp

Did you know that here at the @EnvAgency National Fisheries Laboratory we detect and monitor a number of #nonnative #fish #diseases and #parasites. Check out the following video below to find out more about invasive non-native species. #INNSweek #InvasiveSpeciesWeek

Our #fisheries team have been at a fishery near #Worcester where we have caught a sample of perch, roach & bream for a health check at @FishLab_EA This type of fisheries management is all funded by the rod licence. Make sure you have your licence👇 gov.uk/fishing-licenc…

Have you ever wondered how to age a fish and what we can learn from fish scales, check out this blog from our very own Conor McCormick environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2023/04/21/the… #fishsci #fish @EnvAgency @GarethDDaviesEA

This weekend we hosted @IFMFish2 for the IFM Diploma course and showcased what we do in the lab, as well as a fish dissection! A wonderful weekend sharing and learning about fish health with keen fish enthusiasts! #FishHealth

Yesterday @EnvAgencyMids #FisheriesOfficers provided support to #Gloucester #AnglingClub A sample of fish were removed to be health checked at @FishLab_EA Hopefully we will receive a clean bill of health so we can safely move the fish to a new pool. Supported by the #RodLicence

Primary test results allow us to select an Analytical Profiling Index (#API) test for the #bacteria in question. API strips contain up to 20 #biochemical tests. Once prepped, incubated and results read they can provide us with #species/#genus identification. #TeamEA #Fish

We have a motile, Gram-negative, rod-shaped #bacterium. These primary tests, as well as the #oxidase (+ve) and #catalase (+ve) reactions, help us to determine what kind of #bacteria we have growing on the plate! #TeamEA #Fish

Now the diagnostic work begins to figure out what #bacterial #species it is! We start by classifying it through biochemical/phenotypical tests to indicate the characteristics of the #bacteria we've cultured. These include Gram staining and catalase, oxidase and motility tests🦠🐟

Here is some good #bacterial growth on a sub-culture agar plate from last week. Sub-culturing the original sample plates allows us to separate out individual #strains of #bacteria so that we get pure single-species #colonies of each bacteria from the original sample plate #TeamEA
