EuroTier 2008 to present aquaculture forum

 

Press Release

 

 

The increasing importance of aquaculture has given it ground in EuroTier 2008, where it will present aquaculture products and technology.

 

"Nothing is possible without aquaculture any more", summarised the fish trade after the international fish exhibition in Bremen.

 

Demand for information is currently very high, which is why the DLG (Deutsche Landwirtschafts- Gesellschaft - German Agricultural Society) is again organising an information platform for aquaculture at EuroTier 2008. International manufacturers, outfitters and institutions will present a product range that includes complete fish farms, feeds, filtering and oxygen input technology, right up to trout eggs from the US available all year round.

 

Recirculation farming
 

The leading enterprises for closed circuit techniques are represented at EuroTier 2008. Furthermore, an internationally leading enterprise for feeding installations and animal husbandry systems from the pig and poultry sector is participating in the aquaculture sector for the first time and showing a new style of indoor fish farms.

 

Feed and feeding techniques

 

Reducing costs by efficient feeds and feeding systems, modern production techniques and new energy concepts are just some of the themes at this year's market place for aquaculture at EuroTier. Feed firms and feeding technologists will show how plant proteins can replace fishmeal, and how automatic feeding systems can increase weight gain and lower costs.

 

Heat from biogas plants for fish keeping

 

Using heat from biogas plants in fish systems was one of the exciting topics at EuroTier 2006. Now the first installations are "on line" in the bioenergy installations and technologists will be showing first results and new systems at EuroTier 2008.

 

Advisory services
 

The combination of market place with exhibitors, information in the Forum Aquaculture and the possibility of obtaining impartial advice in a specially established Advisory Centre Aquaculture proved successful, with 6,000 visitors showed interest in aquaculture at EuroTier 2006.

 

Advisory Centre Aquaculture
 

Dutch aquaculture experts will answer questions concerning topical issues of fish-keeping and modern technologies.

 

Report innovations to the DLG
 

Leading manufacturers will present their innovations and further developments for 2008/2009. An innovations commission will include experts for the assessment of innovations from the aquaculture sector.
