The seafood sector relies increasingly on farmed fish to fulfil growing consumer demand worldwide. Aquaculture, the practice of farming fish, has responded to these needs over the last decade by acquiring specialist skills, ranging from reproduction, nutrition to understanding distribution channels and market trends. International expert speakers at the new global aquaculture summit on 22nd June 2020 will share their long experience in these areas, appealing to practitioners and companies from aquaculture and also to livestock farmers venturing into aquaculture, a trend particularly common in Europe.
Organised by the DLG, the German Agricultural Society and organiser of the EuroTier China exhibition held 7th – 9th September 2020, the new aquaculture summit held online is part of an extensive technical programme accompanying the exhibition that focuses on livestock technologies for dairy, pig and poultry and aquaculture.
The aquaculture summit, which consists of presentations and ample opportunity to ask questions and interact with the speakers, will equip participants with valuable practical knowledge that can be applied at home.
“We have selected speakers from four countries, which are China, Denmark, Germany and Thailand. Each presenter offers best-practice method in aquaculture and are willing to share their extensive knowledge with the online attendees in a compact programme lasting just two hours,“ says Birgit Schmidt-Puckhaber, project manager of aquaculture, DLG.
