The Gill Health International Conference is the place where academia, industry, technology and research laboratories come together to discuss gill health in salmon. Its purpose is to discuss the results and solutions, and to share knowledge and new practices that are generated in the country regarding the management of the most prevalent and important gill pathology in Atlantic salmon in Chile. This is known as Proliferative Gill Disease (PGD) and has been present in our territory since 2012.
A significant discovery by Valeria Olivares, a physicist at the University of Santiago, and an international team of astronomers, published in Nature Astronomy, reveals a correlation between the surface brightness of hot and warm gas in the central filaments of galaxy clusters.
This finding provides crucial insight into the origin of these gaseous filaments, the primary fuel source for supermassive black holes and star formation.
