The goal of the International Sea Lice Conference series is to bring together international research groups and regulatory agencies to foster collaboration and communication on sea lice research. Since the first conference in Paris in 1992, there have been 6 additional conferences: Trondheim '97, Amsterdam '98, Dublin '99, Aberdeen '01, St. Andrews (Canada) '03 and Puerto Varas '08. Research focuses on relevant issues of the day; as the science evolves, new discoveries made and issues emerge. For example, initially sea lice biology and chemotherapy were dominant themes, whereas now sea lice-wild fish/environmental interactions, mathematical modeling and molecular genetics are dominant themes. Victoria, Canada was chosen as the destination for the next conference in the series owing to the recent debate on wild-farmed fish interactions and the large body of research work currently underway in British Columbia. British Columbia has some of the most stringent regulations in relation to
