1998 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SEA LICE BIOLOGY

Venue: Amsterdam, Netherlands
Dates: 20-24th July,1998
Recent advances in the study of the biology of Sea Lice will be the subject of a THREE DAY CONFERENCE to be held in Amsterdam from 22nd to 24th JULY 1998. Following the very successful formula of the first Sea Lice workshop held in Paris in 1992, the AMSTERDAM meeting will take place during the Fourth World and Third European Crustacean Congresses - hosted by the University of Amsterdam. The dates of the main congress are 20th to 24th July. This will enable Sea Lice meeting participants to experience sea lice research within its wider context, to interact with the top crustacean specialists world-wide, and to hear about research in important related topics - such as shellfish aquaculture and fisheries. The proceedings will be peer-reviewed and published after the meeting. The Crustacean Congress has plenary sessions each morning so contributed sessions will take place in the afternoons. The sea lice sessions will be held from Wednesday 22nd to Friday 24th of July.
