The INFLOW Podcast recently interviewed our own Trevor Erdmann – HMSC Senior Aquarist and Life Support/Instrumentation Specialist.

Trevor and I both started in the profession as teenagers but took slightly different paths. He is a recognized expert in the field of life support systems and water quality and an excellent teacher and mentor.

A thorough understanding of life support systems and water quality is an essential set of skills professional aquarists must have in order to ensure optimal aquatic animal health and welfare.

So, If you are interested in aquatic animal care this podcast provides a great discussion of the profession and the skills required to be successful.

Trevor discusses the professional certification schemes through the Association of Aquatic Life Support system Operators (AALSO).

Here’s the link to the INFLOW podcast.
