The DST Technology Enabling Center along with Nitte University Center for Science Education and Research (NUCSER) organized an Indo-Norway workshop on Aquatic Animal Health Management on December 05, 2023. This workshop discussed joint projects between Nitte University and Nord University, Bodo, Norway, which are dealing with technologies such as vaccine development and delivery in aquaculture as well as bacteriophage therapy that can serve as an alternative to antibiotics in aquaculture.

Dr. Anirban Chakraborty, Director, NUCSER welcomed all speakers and delegates. Dr. Indrani Karunasagar, Director (projects) explained the back ground for the workshop, joint collaboration ongoing with Norway and joint publications that came out of the collaboration. She recalled the excellent experience of the Indian delegation led by her consisting of Dr. Anirban Chakraborty, Dr. Biswajit Maiti along with two PhD scholars during their visit to Nord University. Dr. Iddya Karunasagar emphasized the importance of aquaculture in fish production globally and in India. Dr. Hetroney Mweemba Munang’Andu, Professor, Nord University highlighted the importance of international collaboration to bring in complementary expertise and experience.

This inaugural programmed was followed by scientific presentations as follows:
