Presentations by invited subject-matter experts will outline, elaborate on, and show the vital elements that are necessary to construct practical, effective and economical aquaculture biosecurity plans and programs. Pulling from existing, developing or conceptual biosecurity plans and programs throughout the world, in aquaculture and other animal species, the conference will address critical issues for preventing, controlling and eradicating aquatic animal diseases in aquaculture — from the farm to the nation.
