As dedicated media sponsor for Aquaculture 2019, International Aquafeed/Fish Farming Technology magazine took a trip across the pond to the triennial, world’s largest aquaculture gathering.
Aquaculture 2019 was hosted in New Orleans, Louisiana by the New Orleans
Marriot Hotel and organised by the National Shellfisheries Association,
American Fisheries Society, World Aquaculture Society (WAS) and the National
Aquaculture Association.
Not since 2016 in Las Vegas had the world’s aquaculture industry seen such a gathering, with the New Orleans event surpassing that of the prior Las Vegas rendition. This conference and trade show had attendees in excess of 3000 from over 90 countries and in over 300 exhibitors.
This all-round successful event had many working tersely behind the seams, and to many I mention a thank you all and a special thanks to Mario Steal and John Cooksy who have always made these events worthwhile to attend. If only they could organise a way to reduce my 17-hour travel!
The trade show brought many new technology systems to the industry and in the coming months we will showcase many of them. The highlight of the tradeshow was the purchase of Calitri Technology by the American giant Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems who, in the past purchased, American company Aquatic Eco-Systems and more recently Icelandic company Vaki, further demonstrating the global expansion of aquaculture with rising demand for a more sustainable protein source.
Our next trip across the pond is to Honolulu, Hawaii February 9 – 12th 2020 and the following WAS event in Singapore, from June 2 – 5th 2020, with a little trip to my homeland, Ireland, in September 2020.
