- Peer-Reviewed Journals: We reference published scientific literature in aquaculture and marine biology where relevant.
- Veterinary Guidelines: We consult publicly available veterinary protocols for fish health and disease management.
- Industry Standards: We draw on best practices commonly recognized within the aquarium hobbyist and aquaculture community.
The Review Process
- Drafting: Content is written by experienced aquarists and researchers.
- Scientific Review: Our Scientific Review Team evaluates the content for factual accuracy and safety before publication.
- Continuous Updates: We periodically review and update our content to reflect new research and discoveries. See our Corrections Policy for how we handle errors after publication.
