Between 29-30 November, the city of Puerto Montt will host an international seminar called "Clean Aquaculture Production: Recirculation and Treatment Alternatives." The event is being organised by Aquabusiness SA and the Institute for Fisheries Development (IFOP).

According to IFOP, the seminar's goals are to present and create alternatives to diversify and support the aquaculture industry as it both grows and consolidates. Those attending the seminar will be domestic and foreign businessmen, specialists in the field of clean aquaculture production and internationally recognised experts in the technical aspects and economics of water recirculation systems and treatments of residues, liquids and solids.

The specific themes to be discussed will be:

- Diagnosis and analysis of current uses of water in relation to production, sanitation, and quality aspects
- Recirculation technologies: systems and equipment
- Economic evaluation of production alternatives with and without water recirculation
- Treatment of industrial liquid residues and new technologies for tank cleaning and environmentally friendly preventive systems

The organisers hope the seminar will represent an advance for the country's aquaculture industry as it moves towards the development of clean technologies that allow both improved production and higher levels of environmental sensitivity.
