A Mobile Responsive Clinical Fish Health Database with associated learning games enables more accurate and timely identification and remediation of fish pathogens by fish health professionals  and educates students. The  two computer learning games, Fish Detective and SimFish, created in parallel, add to the educational value of this project. The Database contains historical cases from disease diagnostic laboratories and captures current and future clinical records. The Database facilitates data mining for risk assessment and epidemiological studies, including analyses of data from all cases diagnosed by a particular laboratory, by multiple labs within a state, by labs in a multi-state area, and by farmers wanting to track diseases over time on their own farm.
