Pete has done extensive research on diagnostic detection, microbial
ecology, vaccination and antibiotic resistance and I am sure his
treatise on the "Confessions of a Fish Health Bug Hunter" will be
of
relevant interest to all.
Dr Natalia Guseva from the Laboratory of Ichthyopathology of the
All
Russian Research Institute of Freshwater Fisheries in Rybno, Russia
(currently at the University of Georgia-Athens) will present an
overview of the US/Russia Cooperative Research Program on Fisheries
and the Environment with particular reference to Aquaculture and
Fish
Disease.

topics
in warmwater aquaculture, which will be chaired by Drew Mitchell
and
Andy Goodwin. Featured speakers now include Joel Bader, Linda
Pote,
and John Hawke.
(2) An update on Canadian aquaculture and fish disease research
will
be chaired by Laura Brown. Additional speakers include Neil Ross,
Dave Groman, and Rachael Roper with followup discussion on
interactions between Canadian and U.S. aquaculture/fish disease
interests chaired by Dave Groman.
(3) An anlysis of the Wild Fish Surveys with relevant discussion
pertaining to the biological, political and administrative
ramifications of such data from federal and state perspectives will
be
chaired by Tom Bell. Featured speakers include Patricia Barbash,
Tom
Jones and Tom Wiggins.
