Euroshrimp Meeting @AE2026 Ljubljana
Dear EuroShrimp Community Members,
We are pleased to present you with the final program of our Industry forum at the AE2026 in Ljubljana. Thanks to shrimp enthusiasts from Europe and around the world, we have put together a varied program which includes latest developments in Biofloc aquaculture, shrimp health and the determination of shrimp larval growth.
We hope to meet you all on September 29th from 16:00 to 17:30 at the Congress & Convention Centre Ljubljana, Urska 1, Floor 2.
As we do every year, we are not only offering an interesting and varied program, but also plenty of time to exchange ideas and to build and expand your network after the official program.

We would also like to draw your attention to the results of the Shrimp Health workshop held at the AE2024 in Copenhagen – a new practical guide on animal welfare in shrimp aquaculture entitled: “Health and welfare monitoring in whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) aquaculture”.
Developed by the Institute for Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) and the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), Germany. The guide – with images and charts to apply the Gamberoni Welfare Index – can be downloaded free of charge here:
