Acquacoltura Med conference on sustainable aquaculture and seafood, Verona, Italy

[Date: 2009-07-31]

The Acquacoltura Med conference will be held on 22 and 23 October in Verona, Italy.

Under the title 'Growing the fish value chain from innovation to market', the event will tackle issues of sustainable aquaculture and seafood production in the Mediterranean.

Population pressures in southern and eastern Mediterranean countries, the need to rationalise exploitation of fish resources and price competition by non-Mediterranean products are just some of the factors that continue to influence modern Mediterranean fish farming.

Topics that will be addressed during the conference include:
- what is Mediterranean fish farming and its future direction;
- the specific identity of Mediterranean fish farming and its unique traits when compared to fish farming in Nordic countries;
- the possibility of combining environmental awareness and increased production trends over the next few years;
- the possibility of sustainable Mediterranean fish farming.
