  • The EU-funded project is running 6 webinar sessions organised by CIHEAM to boost innovation and sustainability

  • Aquaculture is playing a growing role in building sustainable food systems in Europe and the Mediterranean region

Zaragoza, 28 September 2023.- Over the course of October 2023, the NewTechAqua project is running 6 webinar sessions to provide the necessary skills for a sustainable, resilient, and innovative European aquaculture. The topics cover some of the major challenges faced by the sector, from fish feeding to fish health or fish reproduction.

Aquaculture is playing a growing role in building sustainable food systems in Europe and the Mediterranean region. Among other benefits, aquaculture can help ensure food security, alleviate pressure on wild fish stocks and provide stable livelihood for fishing communities.

The webinars are organised by CIHEAM, one of the 26 project partners, through its institutes in Zaragoza (Spain) and Bari (Italy). The sessions are free and open for aquaculture researchers, technical staff, industry stakeholders and any person interested in NewTechAqua main results, outputs and recommendations.

The schedule of the upcoming sessions is as below:

  • New organic feeds for affordable sustainability. 3 October 2023.
  • Circular aquafeed ingredients for sustainable aquaculture. 5 October 2023.
  • Feeding strategies to support fish health and to reduce antimicrobials. 11 October 2023.
  • Reproduction and broodstock management of meagre (Argyrosomus regius). 18 October 2023.
  • Reproduction and broodstock management of greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili). 20 October 2023.

Registration, together with a full programme of these webinars, is available at the NewTechAqua webpage, in the training section: newtechaqua.eu/training.

The sessions are part of the NewTechAqua Webinar Series, which was launched on 7 June 2023 and is expected to run until December 2023. The project has already hosted three webinars, which have been recorded and are available on the project’s YouTube channel.
