Aquaculture Europe 2019 in Berlin could be one of our biggest and most varied!

The European Aquaculture Society Aquaculture Europe 2019 will be held in the Estrel Hotel and Conference Centre, Berlin from October 7-11th. The event organisers have reported a very strong interest in this event, with more than 880 abstracts received for presentation.

A very varied programme is being finalised, with 55 sessions over the three conference days. 150 booths have been sold for our trade show and eight special sessions link business and science.

The opening plenary sessions of AE2019 will include a view on “The Environment and Fish Health” – by Professor Charles R Tyler of the University of Exeter, UK. Fish are excellent barometers of aquatic ecosystem health and declines in both their diversity and abundance globally is a major cause for concern, not least because of their fundamental roles in ecosystem function and as a source for food.

This talk will be free ranging with the purpose of provoking thought into might better translate knowledge on fish physiology for optimising aquaculture practice.
The AE2019 Special Sessions are targeted towards aquaculture producers and suppliers. They include sessions on marine litter, parasite management, nutrition and breeding innovations, shrimp production and aquaculture in Central and Eastern Europe. They also include the EU EATIP Day, whose programme is being finalised at this moment.

Programmes of all of the special sessions will be posted online and also look out on the EAS site to download our EAS Meetings App for Apple and Android that will accompany you before and during your time in Berlin.

One of these special sessions is entitled “Women in Aquaculture.” Organised by EAS and The Fish Site (on the back of its very successful series of the same name), this panel session will look at ways to ensure greater gender diversity at all levels of the aquaculture sector? More specifically, the panel will offer first hand insights into how women can overcome perceived gender-related obstacles and build thriving careers right across the aquaculture sector.
