The International Symposium of Fish Nutrition and Feeding (ISFNF) will be held on June 5-9 in the wonderful and sunny Sorrento, Italy and promises to meet the high expectations that the scientific community and the aquafeed industry have for this event, now on its 20th edition.
This ISFNF, this year entitled 'towards precision fish nutrition and feeding', will present and discuss the latest findings and discoveries as the premier international forum for researchers, academics, and industry involved in the aquafeed sector.
More than 400 delegates from all over the world are expected to attend the ISFNF, with 80 oral presentations and 150 posters over the course of the five day event. Topics include physiology and nutritional requirements, hatchery feeds (broodstock and larvae), alternative lipid and protein sources, feed additives and functional feeds, nutritional and feeding strategies, nutrition and fish health, feed technology and product quality.
The ISFNF has always been a one-session conference, where every single presentation is shared with all the conference participants, ensuring the maximum dissemination and a high quality of debate and insights.
Two afternoon sessions will be also dedicated to the poster exhibition and the discussion with the authors
There will also be three 30-minute invited lectures at the beginning of the sessions, from FAO, DG Research & Innovation of the European Commission and from a representative of the feed industry.
Informal discussions, lunches and social activities have also included in the program to encourage the participants to get to know one another and widen networks and find new collaborations.
According to Prof. Alessio Bonaldo, from the University of Bologna, chair of the organising committee, this edition after such a long difficult period due to the pandemic will permit to meet again in person and discuss about the new challenges that researchers and feed industry are going to face in the next future.
'We were impressed by the great quality of abstracts received and it was not easy to select the 80 studies that will be presented orally. Research on fish nutrition and feeding is the key to improve sustainability, environmental footprint, fish health and product quality in aquaculture. ISFNF will represent a step forward to a greater knowledge on fish physiology, the use of new and circular ingredients, precision feeding and the role of feed and additives to improve fish performance, welfare and health.'
