MARS Meeting Topic - Jan 18, 2008

[MrMikeB]

This month MARS is excited to bring you Kelly Jedlicki!

Kelly Jedlicki is a long-time aquarist and hobby contributor working in the medical profession with a very long of list of credentials. She brings her knowledge and empathy for all animals and life to the practice of aquariology. Areas of expertise include pathology, disease prevention and management, predatory marine fishes, elasmobranchs and seahorses. Her special love and study of pufferfishes earned her the moniker "puffer queen' by the highly respected reef photographer and writer Scott Michael. She applies her practical wisdom daily to an aquatic collection totaling around 3000 gallons of seawater. With seventeen years of industry experience, her accreditation includes elected board positions such as President and Vice president of the Louisville Marine Aquarium Society, which has successfully hosted three MACNAs, and Vice President of MASNA. Kelly has her own forum, “Disease, Health & Wellness, on www.MarineDepot.com. She has published articles on puffer husbandry, dentistry and cholelithiasis as well as shark husbandry. She has presented both nationally and internationally.

Kelly will be presenting on fish disease, health and wellness and is an authoritative source on techniques to care for sick fish. The MARS meetings are open to the public and all are encouraged to come. This month should be a lot of fun and very educational.

The general meetings are held each 3rd Friday of the month at the Round Table Pizza at Madison and Greenback Ln near Folsom at 7PM. If you like what you see, become a member to gain access to super-secret club only events and benefits (ok, ok, not so super-secret). PM me with any questions you may have and I will be happy to help.

Kelly in her natural habitat


See you there!
