UPDATED abstract guidelines for our AE events

We have update our abstracts for our Aquaculture Europe events! So please make sure that you follow our new  abstract guidelines on quality and on format when you submit.
Abstracts need to reflect the quality of the science, in terms of its rigour, its contribution to knowledge and its impact to end-users. EAS strongly supports good knowledge management. Please therefore clearly show the impact and implications of your research for the sector and how you will/have communicated the knowledge derived for the potential users of your results. We recognise that ongoing analysis and interpretation of results may hinder early submission, and it is therefore possible to amend/update your abstract before a second (final print) deadline (usually early July). Naturally, updates and amendments can only be made to abstracts that have been submitted before the initial deadline, so this is not an opportunity to make a late initial submission Please kindly pass on this message to your colleagues and contacts that would still like to submit.

DSM and Evonik establish joint venture for omega-3 fatty acids from natural marine algae

Royal DSM and Evonik today announced their intention to establish a joint venture for omega-3 fatty acid products from natural marine algae for animal nutrition. This breakthrough innovation will, for the first time, enable the production of omega-3 fatty acids for animal nutrition without using fish oil from wild caught fish, a finite resource. Evonik and DSM’s alternative omega-3 source is the first to offer both EPA and DHA and will be aimed at initial applications in salmon aquaculture and pet food. The companies will together build a commercial-scale production facility in the United States. See film summary

ARRAINA: Understanding Biomarkers in Fish Nutrition

This booklet is the final in a series of three technical booklets on the nutrition and feeding of fish farmed in Europe. The species focussed on by the ARRAINA project are: Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, common carp, European sea bass and gilthead sea bream.

It provides a reliable set of biomarkers and associated methodologies to assess the nutritionally mediated effects on growth performance, metabolic homeostasis, stress responsiveness and health condition of fish which are fed new diet formulations from early life stages to completion of production cycle and sexual maturation.
