11th Practical Short Courses: Trends and Markets in Aquaculture Feed Ingredients, Nutrition, Formulation and Optimized Feed Production and Quality Management
More than 800 people from over 400 different companies and over 60 countries participated in the Aquaculture Feed Extrusion, Nutrition & Feed Formulation program since 2004. Smart Short Courses now brings this exciting program to Latin America. This is a crash course for new plant personal and opportunity for those who are experienced to meet experts in the field to discuss their current problems to enhance their plant operations. The course material will also serve as a useful reference for processors, product formulators, chemists and technicians as well as business managers familiar with Aquafeed, extrusion, nutrition and feed management.

AQUA 2012
AQUA 2012 is the next joint International aquaculture conference and exhibition organised by the European Aquaculture society and the World Aquaculture society. After the successful AQUA2006 , Florence, Italy, the both boards decided Prague as the next venue.
The theme for next year's AQUA 2012 event "Global Aquaculture: Securing our Future" has several aspects. It has obvious implication in global and regional food security and aquaculture trade, placing aquaculture products in the global fisheries market. It also refers to economic and environmental sustainability and the image of aquaculture activities. Our future is what we make of it now - how we alleviate poverty; how we manage our future resource needs and especially how we educate, train and manage knowledge for the next generation of aquaculture researchers, producers and other stakeholders.
AQUA 2012 Programme co-chairs Marco Saroglia, Jos� Polanco and Zdenek Adamek have put together a vast programme of more than 50 technical sessions that will be open for abstract submission. They are listed here in full under the main subject areas for you to start thinking about what you would like to present at this important global event. Please note that although the meeting is being held in the Czech Republic, all aspects of aquaculture (species, rearing environments, markets etc...) will be addressed at AQUA 2012.
