Don't miss this edition which is out now!

Our editor and our other team members, including our Latin America representative, will be there. We always look forward to meeting our readers, writers and of course our advertisers at events like this.

Below are the events we highly recommend you to attend. They are happening in various countries from Aquaculture UK coupled with many other Europe events to several being hosted in Asia and Australia.
