The organizers of the SeaLice Conference 2025 have announced an extension of the deadline for abstract submissions until August 15. This global conference is the most important event focused on the research and management of Caligus rogercresseyi and Lepeophtheirus salmonis, and will take place in Puerto Varas, Chile, from November 30 to December 4.<\/p>\n
The organizing committee shared that they are currently working on finalizing the conference program, scientific sessions, and keynote presentations that will span the five-day event.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince the last edition of this international conference was held in 2022, we believe there will be many studies at various stages of development. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve decided to extend the submission deadline to ensure a broader range of research is represented. We\u2019re also designing a new format for keynote talks with both local and international teams, aiming to offer a more global perspective on sea lice research and management,\u201d said Professor Sandra Mar\u00edn from the Institute of Aquaculture and Environment at the Austral University of Chile, Puerto Montt campus.<\/p>\n
For Dr. Cristian Gallardo-Esc\u00e1rate, Deputy Director of the Interdisciplinary Center for Aquaculture Research (INCAR), the conference is a unique opportunity to strengthen international collaboration:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis event allows us to share science-based solutions, reinforce public-private partnerships, and promote a more sustainable aquaculture industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
