​Upcoming “DIVERSIFY One-day Species-specific Workshops” for stakeholders
To speed up the dissemination of these results to the interested stakeholders and the aquaculture industry, one-day species-specific workshops are being organized for the Spring and Fall of 2018, to be carried out in different locations around Europe (Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Norway).  The location will be selected based on the aquaculture potential of each species and the Workshops will be will be hosted by the species leaders within the DIVERSIFY consortium, as follows:
  1. Meagre, Alicia Estevez, IRTA, Spain
  2. Greater amberjack, Nikos Papandroulakis, HCMR, Greece
  3. Pikeperch, Pascal Fontaine, U Lorraine, France
  4. Atlantic halibut, Birgitta Norberg, IMR, Norway
  5. Wreckfish, Blanca Alvarez, IEO, Spain
  6. Grey mullet, William (Bill) Koven, IOLR-NCM, Israel
The workshops will be announced in the website of the project www.diversifyfish.eu at the end of 2017, and will be also advertised in relevant websites.  In each workshop, researchers from within the DIVERSIFY consortium will present a summary of the work carried out and the production methods developed, in the different areas (Reproduction and Genetics, Nutrition, Larval and Grow out husbandry, Fish health, Final product quality and Socioeconomics).  Relevant researchers from outside the consortium will also be invited to present their work.  This will ensure that the participants are provided with the State-of-the-art of the scientific knowledge for each of the species, coming not only from DIVERSIFY, but also from other European or National initiatives.  The workshops will be free of charge and will be open to any interested researcher, farmer or regulator, on a first come-first served basis.
