Hello, Morge. Good morning. Today I will make a short report of my work at the fish wholesaler Aquafarm in the Netherlands. And as you see, I use my microscope. My microscope is my tool to do my work. If no microscope, well, I tell you, my eyes are limited. Even I have wear glasses. But still that doesn't give me the help I needed to identify diseases. And then sometimes you find the diseases like I show here on the. On my screen, on my computer. Because I record everything with my. How can I say? With my. With my collecting of data in my computer. And then you see this kind of nice, interesting weird features like these kanometer tassive carrier, which are here in the intestine. And then we find some other cases where you feel to the intestine full of tubercles, probably a mycobacterial infection. Things that are not always perfect. Well, this helps me to give a correct diagnosis and to see what we can do with the fish and what we can give as instructions to help to overcome wrong treatments and to help to give the correct treatments so that the fish are kept in the best shape. So we are all happy in our hobby and in the trade of the fish. Thank you for watching.
