Turkey – Int’l Conference and Exhibition Aquaculture Europe

Organized by the European Aquaculture Society in cooperation with Eurasia Trade Fairs and Future Fish Eurasia 2007, and hosted by the Turkish Federation of Aquaculture & Fisheries, the EAS Aquaculture Europe 2007 meeting "COMPETING CLAIMS", to be held in Istanbul (Turkey) from October 24-27, will address the competition that aquaculture development faces and on which its future depends.

Aquaculture Europe 2007 is the first of the ‘new format’ Aquaculture Europe events, that will combine a scientific conference with an exhibition. The interface between these two main features – the industry forum - will be filled by special events, including an industry day or ‘farmers day’, workshops for industry and the AE2007 student forum. As always, various social events will be a part of the Aquaculture Europe meeting.

The conference theme ‘Competing claims’ addresses the various levels of competition that aquaculture faces at present, but upon which its future development will depend. "Claims" exist from other stakeholders with respect to physical space, investment and other finances, resources (e.g. for feed raw materials and water resources), technology and others.

Plenary sessions will include the following issues:

* Does Aquaculture Make Efficient & Sustainable Use of Limited Resources
* All Human Activities Affect Our Environment
* How Does Aquaculture Interact With Biodiversity
* How Will Aquaculture Find the Space to Develop?
* How to Address Consumer Expectations and Concerns?

AE2007 will take place in conjunction with Future Fish Eurasia 2007.
