Events in the next 3 months

 

In two days, the 24th Annual Short Course on Aquaculture Feed Extrusion, Nutrition and Feed Management starts in Texas A&M University in the US. Food extrusion has become a very important processing operation. Extrusion is widely used for the preparation of aquaculture and animal feed, as well as a variety of foodstuffs including breakfast cereals, snack food and pasta.

 

We've picked 15 other events slated within the next three months, including the Taiwan International Fisheries & Seafood Show in Kaohsiung, which has plenty of room to exhibit tools for fishing, technology and aquaculture; seafood and value-added seafood; and processing equipment, among others.

7th International Conference on Aquaculture & Fisheries

October 19 – 21, 2017

Rome, Italy

 

From Canada, ConferenceSeries Ltd brings this premier event to Europe, particularly Italy, bringing together international experts including scientists, researchers and decision makers both from academia and the industry. Aquaculture is a Major Field in modern food supply.

 

This aquaculture conference will cover new research techniques and concentrate on aquaculture exhibition of new feeds, fish welfare, antibiotics, and instruments introduced by the aquaculture fisheries laboratories. 

 

According to the FAO, aquaculture "is understood as the farming of aquatic organisms including fish, molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants. Farming implies some form of intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, such as regular stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc.".

 

Aquaculture in Italy is characterised by the high level of specialisation and large-scale production. Traditional extensive aquaculture is still carried out in the "valli", which are brackish lagoons, especially in the northeastern regions. More modern aquaculture techniques for marine species include onshore intensive farms, cage systems in the sea (mariculture) and, in the case of shellfish, cultivation on ropes and bags (mussels), or directly on the intertidal substrate (clams). Aquaculture is developed along all Italian coasts, but with higher density along the Adriatic coasts.

9th World Congress on Aquaculture & Fisheries

October 23 – 24, 2017

Dubai, UAE

 

After Canada and Italy, ConferenceSeries Ltd brings the aquaculture and fisheries congress to the Middle East, particularly Dubai.

 

This event serves as a platform for scientists and other personnel to discuss issues and policies related to development and conservation of aquatic resources. It will include exhibitions and oral and poster presentations.

 

Dubai was chosen to hold this even because its fast-growing population has created a huge gap between demand and supply of seafood in the UAE, tilting the balance in favour of unsustainable imports. Statistics from the Ministry of Environment and Water showed that in 2013, the UAE's fish catch stood at 73,203 tonnes, but consumption of seafood reached around 210,000 tonnes, leaving a deficit of 136,797 tonnes. Food consumption, as with other countries, has increased compared to production.

 

The World Aqua Congress 2017 aims to educates consumers about the future prospects of aquaculture and fishing and risk management. Thus, it will bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results.

First Regional Training Course on Culture-based Fisheries

October 29 – November 9, 2017

Nha Trang, Vietnam

 

There are many initiatives underway, which are designed to increase food supply, employment and income opportunities, most of which require considerable capital inputs. Often overlooked are the opportunities to produce more food from the natural productivity of local ecosystems. Culture-based fisheries are one example of a relatively simple and low-cost technology that can deliver nutritional and economic benefits to communities, which often have few livelihood options.

 

The first Regional Training Course on Culture-based Fisheries will be held in Nha Trang, Vietnam, on Oct. 29 to Nov. 9. The course is designed to guide development professionals in the design of culture-based fisheries managed by local communities.
