The symposium featured a series of lectures, workshops, and interactive sessions designed to address the unique medical needs of these often-overlooked species. Participants had the opportunity to learn about the latest research, treatment protocols, and advancements in veterinary medicine specific to these animals. Topics included aquatic health management, disease prevention, and innovative surgical techniques.

This gathering not only fostered professional development but also promoted collaboration among veterinary practitioners, researchers, and students. By enhancing their expertise, attendees are better equipped to provide quality care for these diverse and fascinating species, ultimately benefiting both the animals and their owners.
