The Fish Veterinary Society will hold next year’s edition of its annual conference on March 4 and 5, it has announced.

It will once again take place in the Norton House Hotel, Newbridge, near Edinburgh. Further details will follow in the coming weeks.

Last year’s event featured new research on hydrozoan modelling following farmed salmon mortalities caused by the micro jellyfish Muggiaea atlantica, and Apolemia uvaria, the “barbed wire” jellyfish that killed farmed salmon in Norway and Scotland in 2023.

There were also talks on new treatments and diagnostic approaches from across the globe, policy updates, sessions on trout, salmon, and African aquaculture, and an ornamental fish session.

Presentations include “Life support interventions in net pen salmon farming” by Matt Clarke of Poseidon Ocean Systems, a Canadian company that produces aeration systems, among other things. Read more about that presentation in last April’s online edition of Fish Farming Expert magazine.
