AQUA 2012: Science responds to industry needs
As with all the events organised by the European and World Aquaculture Societies, our AQUA 2012 event in Prague in September will focus on how science plays a fundamental role in the development of the global aquaculture industry.
The AQUA 2012 theme, Global Aquaculture: Securing Our Future, has obvious implications 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. The event will be a truly global one, including technical sessions that cover farmed fish, shellfish, algal and crustacean species from all climatic zones and all continents.
Many industry initiatives are also being planned, included Farmers' Days, a Percid fish culture workshop and other workshops that link the scientific conference to the international trade exhibition. Trade show booths are selling very well, but are also still available.
Abstracts are still being accepted for the vast array of topics that are encompassed by the numerous sessions.
