OFI FISH HEALTH SEMINAR
Maarssen, The Netherlands, 8 May 2008
OFI FISH HEALTH
SEMINAR
At Interzoo 2008, on Friday May 23rd, Ornamental Fish
International (OFI) will present its 2nd Fish Health Seminar. The great success
of the first Seminar at Aquarama 2007 necessitated a continuance at this seminal
event for the international pet supplies market.
Topic of this year’s
seminar: The DNA Multiscan Project. The DNA Multiscan project has been developed
for quick, within 36 hours, identification of the presence of over 60
disease-causing organisms in fish and promises to become an invaluable tool for
the industry.
Presenter of the seminar is Prof. Dr. Kris Willems of the
University of Leuven (Belgium) and the authority on fish diseases Dr Gerald
Bassleer.
Prof. Dr. Willems will highlight HACCP-procedures (Hazard
Analysis Critical Control Points) and the use of the new technique for the
safety of the fish and operators in the industry.
Dr Bassleer (OFI
president) will emphasise the application of such a diagnostic technique for the
farmer, breeder, exporter, importer, shop, veterinarians, inspecting authorities
and all others involved in the ornamental fish industry.
The seminar will
be held in the Messezentrum, Room Oslo, 16:00-17:00 h. This meeting is open to
all interested people. However, full is full.
Access for non-member: 100
Euro per person, OFI members free
