The previous four Symposia held throughout Asian counties have each brought together over 170 fish health scientists, students, government workers and industry practitioners from some 20 countries to discuss problems affecting aquaculture production and their solutions. The Symposium is an important event for the aquaculture industry in the Asia-Pacific region. This is the first time that the symposium has been held in Australia with the theme of Healthy, Wealthy and Wise. Biosecurity and risk assessment have particularly been included since they have become critical issues in aquaculture at all levels of production and marketing as well as for all aspects of fisheries world wide. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your kind contributions to the Symposium. Finally, I hope this meeting will be a time to renew your interaction among colleagues and friends and hope you all enjoy the social events and the beauty of Gold Coast.
