The laboratory based practical was carried out at the Department of Zoology, University of Aberdeen and was\u00a0followed by a day of presentations at Marine Scotland&#8217;s Marine Laboratory in\u00a0Aberdeen given by invited speakers, including Dr Ken MacKenzie from the University of Aberdeen, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biologicalsciences.uct.ac.za\/bio\/staff\/academic\/reed\">Dr Cecile Reed<\/a> from University of Cape Town, South Africa, and Drs <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gov.scot\/Topics\/marine\/science\/Researchers\/NeilCampbell\">Neil Campbell<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gov.scot\/Topics\/marine\/science\/Researchers\/CampbellPert\">Campbell Pert<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0Marine Scotland. In addition, there were\u00a0a number of postgraduate students who had the opportunity to share their research with their peers.<\/p>\n<p>Attending this workshop allowed attendees to develop their fish parasitology skills and techniques, and allowed students and early career scientists the opportunity to present their research in the field of marine fisheries parasitology to an International audience of parasite experts in the less intimidating environment of a workshop rather than a large conference. Furthermore, the knowledge gained from the meeting will not only contribute to the attendees\u2019 understanding of a range of fish parasitology issues but will also allow delegates to disseminate information to their peers and the wider MASTS community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Campbell Pert<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ensuring Scotland\u2019s marine environment is managed\u00a0effectively and sustainable is crucial\u00a0for future generations &#8211; and this includes, literally, all creatures great and small.
