SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF EUROPEAN AQUACULTURE

The Programme Grid of our AE2020 ONLINE event from April 12-15 is now online.
The Grid provides an overview of the sessions over the 3 conference days and the RAS programme on the 12th.
PLEASE NOTE that all times are CET (Brussels).

A more detailed programme with individual presentation titles will be published just before the event.
You can register online now and have the Early Bird registration rate (€125 for EAS members, €225 for non-members and just €30 for students) if you register before March 15.

You can join EAS directly here or with your AE2020 ONLINE registration.

We have put together all information you need to know about our events that will take place in 2021, Aquaculture Europe 2020 as an Online event, and Aquaculture Europe 2021 in Madeira, Portugal!

Please take a look at the brochure here.
We look forward to receiving your abstracts to one or for both of our events.  

The EAS Aquaculture Europe events are attracting increasing numbers of stakeholders involved or interested in the latest knowledge and innovations in European aquaculture. The increasing importance of recirculation aquaculture systems – and their use with multiple species for all or part of the rearing cycle - has encouraged EAS to start an annual series of speciality events: RAS@EAS.

After weighing up all the elements of risk and contingency, the EAS Board has decided that the Aquaculture Europe 2020 event planned in Cork next April cannot now go ahead. The Board has therefore decided to organise AE2020 as an ONLINE event, held over the same dates April 12-15, 2021.

EAS Student Group Sponsor SPAROS is organizing another free webinar on our nutritional tool FEEDNETICS^TM, this time for the Aquafeed sector, on October 1st, 2020. SPAROS has been presenting a series of webinars to show a diverse audience how our nutritional tools can help users to predict the effects of nutritional and environmental factors on fish growth, feed conversion, feed costs, body composition, and waste emissions based on a mechanistic simulation model.
This online event brings together the FEEDNETICSTM team to explain its applications through several use cases examples and offers a combination of live presentations and Q&A session. To register and learn more about the webinar, please see here or go directly to the registration page

Dr. Pantelis Katharios covered "Phage Therapy as an Alternative Treatment in Aquaculture: Applications in Fish Hatcheries" on May 26th at 14:00h.

Dr. Pantelis Katharios is a senior researcher at the Institute of Marine Biology, Biotechnology and Aquaculture of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research.

His main research topic is the study and control of diseases in aquaculture. The main object of his research are the pathologies affecting novel aquaculture fish species and the new emerging diseases. In recent years he has emphasized on the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that determine the virulence of pathogenic microorganisms and their interaction with the fish. In the field of disease control, he has worked extensively with the use of bacteriophages as a means of prevention and treatment and with the development of autogenous vaccines.
He has participated in a big number of national and international research projects either as a principal investigator or as a coordinator.

He is the founder of Aquatic Biologicals, which is a spin-off company of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research and it is the first marine biotechnology company in Greece with an exclusive focus on the health of aquaculture fish (www.aquatic-biologicals.com).

He has active collaboration with the Department of Biology, University of Crete, participating in teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, hosting students of the Department for practicing in his lab and supervising undergraduate or graduate theses.

His published work includes 61 papers in international journals, more than 50 conference papers, 5 chapters in technical manuals, and 5 popularized articles in journals of aquaculture.

On Saturday 28 March the University of Greenwich will be hosting the final event of ‘Aqu@teach’, the first aquaponics curriculum to be developed specifically for university level students.

Combining two technologies - recirculating aquaculture systems and hydroponics - in a closed-loop system, aquaponics offers an opportunity to grow food in an economically and environmentally sustainable way, using low levels of resource input. It could certainly play a key role in the future of food production, but only if there is an appropriately trained workforce.
