The activity lasted about 2 hours, which was opened by remarks from the Dean of the Faculty of Marine and Fisheries, Prof. Dr. Ir. I Wayan Nuarsa, M.Si, followed by material presentation and discussion. The Guest Lecture material discusses, among others, diseases in fishery commodities caused by bacterial, protozoan and parasitic infections. In aquaculture, we must pay attention to water quality, bacteria and parasites. Improving the quality of water quality must consider the presence of parasites, because certain parasites (Trichodinid) eat bacteria found on the surface of fish skin. Fish that will be moved to other places must go through quarantine to avoid the spread of fish diseases. Participants were enthusiastic with many questions related to fish health.
The Guest Lecture was closed with the submission of the speaker's certificate by the Dean of FKP, a group photo, followed by lunch that had been prepared by the seminar committee. FKP Unud as a provider of higher education in the field of marine and fisheries will try periodically to present professors from renowned universities both from within and outside the country to build a more modern and up-to-date educational culture.
