FineFish Final Workshop - “Improving sustainability of European Aquaculture by control of malformations”
 |
What
FineFish is
a EU SMEs-Collective research project funded under FP6 aiming
at improving sustainability of European aquaculture by control
of malformations. The project aims to generate new practical
knowledge on how to reduce the incidence of malformations in
the major fish species used in European aquaculture production
and to apply this to the professional sector.
The final workshop will combine information developed within
FineFish and other RTD projects with the different experiences
and observations from professional hatcheries, providing
a summary of relevant knowledge gained on the root cause
of malformations incidence.
When & where
The FineFish final workshop is organised back-to-back with LARVI on Monday, September 7, 2009 at the same venue.
