Samuel Valdebenito es un referente hist\u00f3rico de la salmonicultura chilena. Qu\u00edmico de formaci\u00f3n, traslad\u00f3 en los a\u00f1os 80 conocimientos de la producci\u00f3n animal terrestre a un sector acu\u00edcola a\u00fan incipiente, enfrentando las primeras crisis sanitarias como la BKD y el descubrimiento de Piscirickettsia salmonis. Desde Veterquimica y luego Biovac (fundado en 1996), introdujo t\u00e9cnicas pioneras como la PCR en acuicultura, desarroll\u00f3 vacunas adaptadas a las condiciones locales y apoy\u00f3 al sector durante la crisis del virus ISA. Destaca la necesidad de sistemas productivos m\u00e1s bioseguros y de planes sanitarios dise\u00f1ados para las particularidades del salm\u00f3n y su entorno. Valdebenito recuerda que la salmonicultura chilena naci\u00f3 como industria exportadora y que los desaf\u00edos sanitarios y ambientales no se han detenido. Hoy, tras cerrar su ciclo como gerente t\u00e9cnico, act\u00faa como asesor y articulador entre ciencia, innovaci\u00f3n y mercado, colaborando con startups y centros de investigaci\u00f3n para convertir ideas en soluciones escalables, sostenibles y ajustadas a las exigencias regulatorias. Su visi\u00f3n cr\u00edtica y su experiencia lo mantienen como voz clave en la evoluci\u00f3n del sector.<\/p>\n
