Use of a fish diseases educational DVD-ROM for teaching colleagues in fish health and non fish health fields, fish producers, and students will be demonstrated. The videos Diseases of Warmwater Fish and Trout Diseases produced by Kentucky State University and collaborators from Rangen Feeds, Hagerman, Idaho; North Carolina State University, Fletcher, NC; University of Idaho, Twin Falls, ID; Clear Springs Foods, Inc., Buhl, Idaho; Stuttgart National Aquaculture Research Center, Arkansas; Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine; and University of Kentucky Animal Disease Research Laboratory, Lexington, KY were produced in DVD format to be more effective as a teaching tool. In this DVD, specific viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens can be selected from a menu and played by viewers, rather than having to fast- forward or rewind through a linear videotape to locate certain pathogens.  Also included in this DVD-ROM are more than 50 aquaculture fact sheets published by the Southern Regional Aquaculture Center, the 2000 publication Catfish Farming In Kentucky, and Web Links to aquaculture and fish health sites on the Internet.
