The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2026 provides the most up-to-date data and information, on trends, challenges, opportunities and innovations shaping the sector. It also assesses the state and health of marine fishery resources.

This webinar provides an overview of the history and functionality of immune stimulating products derived from yeast as compared to that derived from a fungal biomass. More specifically, Citribel’s newly developed product high in beta-glucan, is derived from the cell wall of fungal mycelium, and has unique characteristics, production quality, and functionality.

The rising global demand for animal protein and climate change stress aquaculture, making sustainable solutions that prioritize animal welfare crucial. In response, the IGNITION project explores innovative technological approaches to improve health and stress screening in key species, including European seabass, Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout. A core focus is identifying multilayer molecular signatures to assess fish response to challenges through omics technologies and their integration with machine learning to uncover novel biomarkers in minimally invasive biological matrices such as the skin mucus. To apply this practically, IGNITION is developing cutting-edge electrochemical biosensors, focusing on innovative miRNA-based biomarkers, for continuous, non-invasive monitoring, enabling real-time health surveillance and early interventions.

The European Aquaculture Society invites you to join an upcoming EAStalk webinar exploring one of the most important questions in modern aquaculture:

What explains the long-term growth of aquatic food production?

The Editorial Board of Aquaculture International, the official journal of the European Aquaculture Society (EAS), has announced the introduction of a new Author Pre-Screening Checklist, which will become effective on 1 March 2026.

Funded access to research facilities supporting aquaculture research.

The European Aquaculture Society is pleased to support the launch of Ireland’s Edge Aquahack 2026, a four day residential innovation experience taking place from 18-21 May 2026 in Carna, Connemara, Co. Galway, Ireland.

Designed for postgraduate students in aquaculture, marine science, biotechnology, sustainability and related disciplines, the Aquahack offers a unique opportunity to transform academic research into real world impact.

This presentation will look at gill pathobiology in general and how often-multifactorial gill issues affect aquaculture production. Sharing personal and team experience principally from Atlantic salmon farming in Scotland, Norway and Chile, the talk will look at both existing and emergent diagnostic tools with application in gill health and also offer practical perspectives on the diagnosis and management of gill disorders.

The following news was the subject of a post by the new Aquaculture International (AQUI), Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Daniel Merrifield - who has been on the AQUI Editorial Board since 2011. It was posted at the end of 2025.
