Due to the postponement of Aquaculture UK this year, the Aquaculture UK Awards Dinner, will unfortunately not take place as originally planned.
However, our sponsors and judges all agree that it is vital that this important event does not go unmarked, so we are delighted to announce that this year's winners will be celebrated as part of a unique Virtual Awards Ceremony across social media, on 16th September 2020.

This year's awards feature an impressive range of companies, research organisations and individuals. The biographies of everyone shortlisted can be found on the awards website, HERE.
This is the chance for the people to vote on who they feel is the most deserving overall winner within Aquaculture this year.
You can cast your votes now via the official website voting form, HERE.
Note that voting will close at 5pm 15th September 2020, and the winners will be announced across social media platforms on 16th September 2020.
'These prestigious awards will once again highlight the incredible range of talent and cutting-edge advances in technology involved in the global aquaculture sector. We are once again incredibly grateful to the judging panel, 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. 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.
There will also be an award for the Best Overall Aquaculture Company, which is sponsored by Crown Estate Scotland and is decided at the judges' discretion.
The judging procedure for the awards was based on a voting system following a rigorous debate between the panel – those judges with a connection to a company or product in the running for an award had to declare their interest and abstain from voting on that particular category.
