Plenary Session and Divisional
 
Symposia:
 The Plenary Session for the 2025 meeting will focus on South American Aquaculture, Diseases and Climate Change. This is because of the preeminence of the aquaculture industry in this region.  There will be six divisional, two cross-divisional and one pan-divisional symposia. There is also a plan for a workshop/open discussion session on Microbial Control in Latin America.
