General Information
The global aquaculture industry depends on the well-being of the ocean and the health of farmed seafood. The rapid expansion of aquaculture coupled with climate change is increasing the risk of disease in farmed seafood. Producers frequently use antibiotics as a cost-effective, efficient way to control disease. However, there are growing concerns that antibiotics may have negative impacts on the marine ecosystem and human health.
The aquaculture industry is beginning to develop strategies for managing antibiotic use, but these strategies must address many of the complex socio-economic, technical, and regulatory issues related to disease control.
​
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Sustainability – the first Antibiotic in Aquaculture Congress – will bring together experts from academia, the aquaculture industry, and non-governmental organizations to discuss ongoing efforts to promote responsible antibiotic use and explore innovative alternatives to antibiotic use.
The Congress will take place November 20 to 22 at the Cumbres Hotel in Puerto Varas, Chile.
​
Topics that will be covered at the Congress include:
-
One Health
-
Environmental Impacts
-
Prevention Strategies
-
Efficiency of treatment and management of use
-
Policy and Regulation
-
Food Safety
-
Socioeconomics
-

-
Market and Certification
Please join us for this exciting opportunity to identify pathways to a more sustainable global aquaculture industry.
