Salmon Farming: Towards an Integrated Pest Management Strategy for Sea LiceMay 09, 2001The problems and issues of sea lice infestation in farmed salmon are a major threat to industry and the environment. A major conference confronting these problems Salmon farming: towards an Integrated Pest Management strategy for Sea Lice is to be held from 18-19 June 2001 at the Department of Zoology, University of Aberdeen, UK, organised by SCI. This exciting international meeting will address the issues facing salmon farming industry in sea lice control. It will bring together viewpoints from all sides - industry, science, environmental protection agencies, and fishermen - to present the facts regarding sea lice infestations and debate the best way forward for sustainable practices in their control. The conference will cover three sessions: The Science Base of Sea Louse Control; Epidemiology and Modelling; and Management Systems. Speakers from both the academic and commercial sector will bring together their knowledge and expertise to provide an overview of the science base from which new control strategies will be implemented. Presentations include Jennifer Mordue, University of Aberdeen and SCI Scotland Chairman talking on Semiochemical Approaches to Sealouse Control; Ian Denholm of IACR-Rothamstead speaking about Incidence and Management of Resistance to Medicines in Sealice; and David Jackson of the Marine Institute, Galway, Ireland who will cover Monitoring of Sealouse Infections. The conference will also provide an opportunity for cross-fertilisation of ideas and best practice for speakers and delegates from across the world. Two discussions covering international practice come from Tonje Hoy, SLK, Norway Regulatory Practice in Norway and Mark Costello of the Huntsman Marine Science Centre, New Brunswick, Canada speaking about Management Practice in Canada. | |||||||||||||||||||||
