Our forum was held in September at the AE2025 in Valencia, Spain where we enjoyed many insightful discussions and exchanges.
You can now find all presentations from the event available on our event page here.
It was a pleasure to reconnect with the community, and we look forward to meeting you again at future gatherings!
As a key contact point for European shrimp production stakeholders, we held our forum on August 27th, 2024 in Copenhagen at the AE2024. The event followed the shrimp scientific session and featured speakers involved in shrimp production and the latest product developments. We also ran a workshop on animal welfare and shared the latest insights from European farms.
Participants enjoyed open discussions on Europe’s growing shrimp industry, learned about the newest technologies in shrimp aquaculture, and connected with industry peers in a relaxed and creative setting over drinks.
Here you can find our public scientific contributions or announcements on shrimp aquaculture.
