The AQUA NOR FORUM is organised by the European Aquaculture Society (EAS) every second AQUA NOR, and provides a forum for science, industry, consumers and policy makers to review developments in the aquaculture sector and to discuss the key issues that affect those developments.
AQUA NOR FORUM 2011 will address one of the critical constraints to the development of aquaculture in Europe – notably access to sites with high water quality to ensure high quality aquaculture products. By up-scaling production systems an increase in productivity can be obtained for any specific site; but this must be compliant with legislation, with regard to fish welfare, with regard to husbandry and especially with regard to the environmental impacts of increased production systems.
The FORUM will be arranged during Aqua Nor 2011 and will take the format of three sessions, each of some 2 hours duration, where presentation of the issues and discussion of the solutions will be the priority.
