Winners will be announced at a special awards dinner taking place during the Aquaculture UK exhibition, 15-17 September, Aviemore, Scotland. The awards will highlight the range of talent and cutting-edge advances in technology involved in the global aquaculture sector.
The awards brought together a diverse panel of judges, featuring Alex Adrian, aquaculture operations manager of Crown Estate Scotland; Martin Gill, head of aquaculture and fisheries at Lloyds Register; Nicki Holmyard, Director of Offshore Shellfish Ltd; Professor Dave Little, head of research at Stirling's Institute of Aquaculture; Ingrid Olesen, senior scientist at Nofima; and The Fish Site's Rob Fletcher.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic the judges were unable to meet up in person, but over the course of three conference calls organisers were able to debate the relative merits of over entries and nominations, and the six judges managed to whittle down the contenders for each category to make the shortlists. Thanks to both the judges and all those who entered these hotly-contested awards.
'The Aquaculture Awards are a fantastic way to recognise the achievements of those stand-out individuals who are making an exceptional contribution to the industry. Once again, the quality of this year's awards entries has been outstanding. Congratulations and good luck to each of our shortlisted finalists,' says event director Cheri Arvonio.
