Fish Histopathology 2025: A Focus on Gills

The fish histopathology workshop will be held on Sunday 31 August 2025, before the actual conference. The workshop will begin with our keynote speaker, Dr Jeff Wolf (Chief Pathologist, EPL, Virginia). The keynote presentation will be followed by invited speakers who will present different aspects of gill histology or a case study, including pathology and differential diagnoses.

All slides for the workshop will be digitalized, so participants will have the possibility to look at all slides on their laptops while they are being discussed, in the workshop. Discussions are highly welcomed. For participants exclusively, the slides will also be available shortly before and after the workshop.

In the last session we provide the opportunity for participants to present images of pathology of unknown origin or unidentified structures. These presentations should still include background information, but the focus should be on the unknown structure/feature and the talks are expected to be short (no longer than 5 minutes). They will not be included in the final workshop materials. If you would like to give one of these short presentations, please send a message to heike.schmidt@unibe.ch and B.Nowak@utas.edu.au, so that we can count you into the workshop structure and calculate the time needed.
