In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we analyze why antimicrobial use in Chilean salmon production differs so sharply from Norway, despite similar output levels. A technical audit examines pathology, pharmacology, vaccine limitations, and environmental drivers behind current practices. Biological realities, not optics, shape the sanitary landscape. Clear data replaces assumptions and highlights practical paths forward for aquaculture professionals. Stay informed and listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2023 article titled "Use of antimicrobials in Chilean Salmon farming: Facts, myths and perspectives" by Avendaño‐Herrera, Ruben, Marcos Mancilla, and Claudio D. Miranda.
