The Aquaculture Roundtable Series (TARS) 2017 is built around central them of Finfish Aquaculture: Strategies for Growth. This is the second time this series of roundtables, initiated in 2011, is focusing on the finfish aquaculture industry. The meetings will take place in Bali, Indonesia from August 16-17 will explore the growth potential of Asia’s finfish aquaculture industry. Nutriad proudly has been sponsoring TARS since 2012. This year, the company sponsors Prof Francisco E Montero from the University of Valencia, Spain to speak on Parasite Prevention in Fish Farming.
“Parasite control is one of the key issues in health management of all commercial species of fish, including salmon, tilapia and marine fish. However, there is a general lack of basic knowledge on fish parasites in the aquaculture industry, particularly in Asia,” according to Dr Maria Mercè Isern Subich DVM, Nutriad’s Business Development Manager Aquaculture Health. “Prof Montero, involved in research on fish parasitology since 2001, will share his views on the life cycle and mode of action of different species of fish parasites relevant for aquaculture, and illustrate current practices and challenges to prevent and/or treat parasites in fish farms in Europe.”
