48 MARCH 2024 • WORLD AQUACULTURE • WWW.WAS.ORG Blake Wilson at LSU, presented information on the current situation of apple snails in the Louisiana rice-crawfish industry, and the management strategies being used to mitigate and eliminate the pests. The workshop sought to direct future research based on the identified knowledge gaps and stakeholder needs. Items of key concern included determining how apple snails are being moved, what parasites the invaders carry, how to dispose of snail carcasses, and developing management tactics. A team of LSU, MSU, and ARS researchers are now working together to address these issues. Recordings from the 2023 virtual workshop can be viewed on the USDA-ARS website (https://tinyurl.com/apple-snail-workshop). Questions and comments can be directed to Bradley Richardson (brad.richardson@usda.gov) or Amy Roda (amy.l.roda@usda.gov). In addition, a working group contact list now exists, and organizers continue to plan follow-up workshops to maintain engagement with scientists and other stakeholders as we continue to explore new avenues of management for P. maculata in current and future agricultural settings. We encourage anyone interested in being included on the e-mail list for updates and future workshop events to reach out as well. Notes * Bradley M.
