Annual Aquaculture Nutrition Workshop

A core service of the Aquaculture Nutrition Subprogram is the organisation and delivery of an annual aquaculture nutrition workshop. These workshops provide a forum for the delivery of research results from all FRDC-funded aquaculture nutrition projects. Where possible, invited speakers are be utilised to address issues relevant to nutrition research. The workshops also provide an opportunity for feed manufacturers and end users to present their views in relation to aquaculture nutrition research priorities.

Provision of Short Courses

As a service to end users, researchers and feed manufacturers, the Aquaculture Nutrition Subprogram plans to offer a number of short courses each year based on interest and on a full cost recovery basis. Under the guidance of the Expert Working Group, a number of courses will be designed and advertised in January of each year. Promotion will include the cost of attendance, the minimum number of participants required for the course to proceed and an outline of the course content. If there is insufficient interest, the course will not proceed. Courses may be run by members of the Expert Working Group who have specific areas of expertise, or they may utilise the inputs of others. Suggestions for courses that could be developed and delivered via the Subprogram include:

1. Short course in practical feed microscopy;

2. Practical extrusion of experimental diets;

3. Aquaculture nutrition principles for end users;

4. Practical aquaculture diet formulation;

5. Practical assessment of aquaculture diets on-farm.

If you have any suggestions relating to short courses that may be of interest to you, please contact the Subprogram Leader.
