The International Workshop on Aquaculture Medicine and Aquatic Animal Health Management in Asia-Pacific: Status, Constraints and Way Forward (AQUAMAP25) organized by the National Centre for Aquatic Animal Health (NCAAH), Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), Kochi, India will be held on 16-18, January 2025.
The Abstracts can be submitted till November 30 and early bird registration till November 15.
National Centre for Aquatic Animal Health (NCAAH), established on January 18th, 2000, while completing 25 years of its journey, the Centre dwells as companion of aquafarmers sharing their perils and ecstasies in the dynamic world of aquafarming. While moving forward with the motto “Relentless effort for the protection of health of aquatic animals and their environment” the Centre uses cutting-edge technologies for sustainable aquaculture, with a unique Aquaculture Health Products Division, Disease Diagnostic Services, Preventive Health Care and an Aquaculture Extension Cell linking farmers to the technologies.
On the occasion of Silver Jubilee Celebration, the Centre is organizing this International Workshop on Aquaculture Medicine and Aquatic Animal Health Management in Asia-Pacific: Status, Constraints and the Way forward (AQUAMAP25).
The workshop addresses the status, challenges, and future course of action in aquaculture medicine and aquatic animal health management across Asia-Pacific. It brings together Researchers, Scientists, Students, Technocrats and Industry Professionals and Policy Makers to look deep into the aquatic animal health management scenario in the region to evolve innovative solutions to the most destabilizing component in fish production, diseases. The event will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, establishment of collaboration, and development of strategies for the advancement of aquaculture health management in Asia–Pacific.
