2 July 2007 - 2 July 2007
Norway
An international symposium on 'Genetic impacts from aquaculture: meeting the challenge in Europe' will be held in Bergen, Norway, from 2 to 4 July 2007.
Internationally recognised scientists and key figures from the aquaculture industry, aquaculture management and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) will present the latest information on genetic impacts from aquaculture, and possible management options to minimise these. The symposium will cover the following themes:
- European aquaculture: how does Europe address the challenge of genetic impacts caused by a growing industry?
- current state of the aquaculture industry and of wild stocks of key finfish and shellfish species cultured in Europe;
- tracking cultured fish and assessing their impact in the wild;
- predictive and risk assessment tools for guiding management and policy development;
- management challenges and options.
The event is organised by the EU-funded GENIMPACT project.For more information, please visit:
