The shortlist for the Aquaculture Awards has just been published, and displays a range of talent within the aquaculture sector, "from finfish to shellfish farming, from enterprise to innovation," it was explained in a press release dated today.
The awards will be announced at a gala dinner hosted at Aquaculture UK, which is due to be held in Aviemore, Scotland, from May 3-5. The awards will cover 14 categories, to encompass all aspects of aquaculture.
Handing out the awards will recognise individuals and businesses who have gone the "extra mile," as well as provide the sector with the opportunity to celebrate its achievements after in-person events were put on hold due to Covid-19.

Not yet published are those who have been shortlisted for the Best Aquaculture Company award and Special Recognition award, both of which will be announced on the night.
Cheri Arvonio, the event director at show organiser Diversified Communications, says, "As the Aquaculture Awards return to Aviemore this spring, we want to acknowledge the incredible dedication of the people driving the industry forward. We are looking forward to reuniting the sector in Scotland and paying tribute to the projects, companies and people making an exceptional contribution to global aquaculture."
