  • Start off by preparing vitamins for the animals that can eat whole fish of any size.
  • Vitamins are placed within the fishes gills and given to each of the pinnipeds unless specified not to give them. Regular feeding is done at this time as well.
  • While the pinnipeds are eating we are monitoring which are eating in which are not eating for the veterinarian.
  • Thaw out the next batch of food for the afternoon.
  • Thawing consist of opening boxes of herring fish and separating them by size. Buckets of large fish go in one bucket and medium/small and another bucket together.
  • Once all fish are thawed cleaning of the kitchen and dishes is next. Aseptic in disinfected techniques are used during cleaning.
  • For the anti-septic technique that is used we place the feeding tubes into a bowl of Clorohexedine to be sanitized and then rinsed out within 15 minutes.

  • Records are kept in numerical order by year end by tag Records are kept in numerical order by year end by tag assignment.
