Nutriad is a proud sponsor and organises a mini-symposium on June 7 under the theme “Functional feed additives in aquaculture - How to add more?”
The organisers expect the participation of over 400 delegates from academia as well as prominent aquafeed, ingredients and fish producers. This bi-annual conference reviews the status of fish nutrition research and development, but also pinpoints new frontiers and further research needs in the field of aquaculture nutrition.
The event will cover all aspects of nutritional science, from precise quantification of requirements for specific production performance criteria, assessing the value of novel feed ingredients and additives of nutritional or technological interest. The contributions will stress the importance of nutrition and feeding on health and physiological well-being of aquatic organisms affecting production performance and the quality and safety of farmed seafood. This conference will show how fish nutrition science has taken advantage of the technical advances in nutrigenomics, metabolomics, epigenetics, and big data processing.
