In recognition of the importance of mariculture in feeding the world’s population – and also the importance of the Offshore Mariculture Conference – the highest authorities will be in Barcelona. Book now to join them!
The programme will help fish farmers and producers to grow their business – whether it be through moving from coastal to offshore/high energy sites or simply by adding value through intelligent processing and responsible, sustainable aquaculture. Knowledge sharing between regions, unexplained mortality, supply chain innovations and alternative business opportunities that can operate alongside farming, together with a round-up of some of the current research projects that will assist fish farmers to expand and improve their businesses in the long term will all be discussed.

Ernesto Penas Lado, Director: Directorate A – Policy development and coordination: DG MARE – Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
Michael Rubino, Director, Office of Aquaculture, NOAA Fisheries Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
