Greetings. I hope that 2025 is off to a good start for each of you. I was fortunate to be able to attend the Aquaculture 2025 meeting in New Orleans, LA recently and was impressed by the scope and scale of the event. Steering committee chairs Jay Parson, Sandra Shumway, Michelle Walsh, and Paul Zajicek did an amazing job organizing the event. I think it is one of the largest shows I have attended in relation to the number of scheduled presentations, workshops, posters etc. There were over 2500 attendees from 77 countries including 404 students. There were a staggering 120 sessions that included 1330 oral presentations and 183 posters. Many thanks to all our sponsors and trade show exhibitors who make the meetings possible. It was great to see so many friends and colleagues in attendance and I enjoyed meeting many newcomers as well.
