NC Aquariums Vet Team

The North Carolina Aquariums Veterinary Team provides medical care through quarantine, preventative medicine, nutrition, research, routine clinical care and husbandry for the animals at all North Carolina Aquarium locations; Fort Fisher, Pine Knoll Shores, Roanoke Island, Jennette’s Pier.
 
The Aquariums’ collection includes close to 500 species and over 10,000 individual animals: fish, elasmobranchs, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, birds, and mammals. To provide the best medical care possible for this diverse collection, the two NC Aquarium veterinarians are both Board certified veterinary specialists in zoological medicine. This credential also allows the NC Aquariums Vets to collaborate with the NCSU-CVM to provide mentorship and clinical training opportunities for the zoological medicine residency program and veterinary students.
