Aquatic Animal Health & Biosecurity Conference

The Seventh Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) Australasian Scientific Conference on Aquatic Animal Health and Biosecurity will be held at the Pullman Reef Hotel, Cairns, starting at 9:00am on Tuesday 8 July and closing at midday on Friday 11 July 2025. The conference dinner will be held on Thursday 10 July 2025.

Sponsored by the FRDC, delivered through the Aquatic Animal Health and Biosecurity Coordination Program (AAHBCP), and organised by CSIRO, the conference is the premier event for the aquatic animal health community in Australia, bringing together researchers, industry, government, and students. Emerging researchers in the field are encouraged to present their work, with a prize for the best PhD student presentation. The side conversations that occur at this event are also an invaluable opportunity to foster collaboration.

This year the theme of the conference is “Technology for Improved Production and Health”. The proposed conference program will depend on the range of topics received as abstracts and all topics relating to aquatic animal health and biosecurity are welcome.
