Welcome to DigsFish Services Pty Ltd
Our company emerged from the need for a professional, independent, industry focused aquatic animal health service for Australasias fisheries and aquaculture industries.
Dr Ben Diggles established DigsFish Services in November 2003 to provide specialist aquatic animal health services to industry and Government alike.
Dr Diggles has worked with many clients in government, aquaculture, recreational fisheries, and commercial fisheries throughout New Zealand, Australia, Asia and the Pacific Islands. His core business areas include import risk analysis, fish health and welfare, development of feeding attractants for aquaculture, and development of medicated feeds for aquacultured finfish. In his spare time Dr Diggles studies the effects of declining water quality on our estuaries, as shown in this presentation on the demise of
Moreton Bay Oyster Populations
DigsFish Services also administers
NEATFish, the worlds first Environmental Standard for Fishing Tournaments, and supports the use of
Bioline, the worlds leading biodegradable fishing line, which is available in Australia and New Zealand from
BillfishJuice.com, and
Strike back tackle.
If you require development of medicated feeds, artificial baits or other products requiring feeding attractants, or independent policy advice on issues related to disease risk assessment and prevention, quarantine, aquatic animal welfare, disease identification and control for any species of fish or shellfish, DigsFish Services is here to help.
