Dear fish pathologists,
Would any of you be interested in attending a fish pathology workshop here in Perth at our Murdoch University vet school multiheader microscope suite? It will be a prequel or satellite workshop to an International Parasitology Workshop that follows right after. Please go to: http://www.waavp2013perth.com/waavp/program.html
The synopsis of the 3-day fish pathology workshop which gives an overview, is below. Fee will be $700 (excl GST) per participant. Although the microscope suite can accommodate 60, class size will be limited to 20 participants or less, to optimise the learning process.
Murdoch University Pre-conference Fish Pathology Workshop, Perth, 22-24 Aug 2013:
This 3-day workshop will be held at the teaching multi-header microscope suites at the Murdoch University School of Veterinary Science. The workshop is designed with the fish health diagnostician as well as researcher/ would-be-researcher in mind. At the end of the workshop, participants will have developed some level of confidence in carrying out sound disease investigations in finfish, appreciate normal finfish histology as well as be able to recognize significant and emerging diseases of important cultured finfish species in Asia and Australia. The finfish species covered in this workshop will cover both freshwater ornamental fish and marine food fish. There would be opportunity to spend some time on histological glass slide materials that participants are encouraged to bring along to the workshop. Participants will receive a set of DVDs of selected virtual microscopy slides reviewed during the workshop, which will serve as invaluable resource reference materials. This workshop will be an exciting forum for you to review the histological materials of emerging and significant finfish diseases, materials brought along by your peers as well as your own materials. There will be ample opportunity to seek the opinions of presenters as well as other participants during the workshop.
The workshop program will be announced as soon as it has been finalised. Do register your interest with the conference organizers.
