Species Workshops for farmers and stakeholders
Full-day workshops on “Know-how Transfer” of the state-of-the-art of the aquaculture for each of the six species of DIVERSIFY τook place in 2018. These workshops consisted of presentations on selected aspects (e.g., reproduction and spawning induction, larval rearing an grow out, nutrition, health, final product diversification and quality, socioeconomic issues and marketing, etc.), given by DIVERSIFY Partners, but also from any authorities in the species (European or world-wide depending on the species), whose work was not part of the project.
The workshops were targeted for Aquaculturists (mainly), but also European aquaculture support companies (feed, pharmaceutical, equipment, engineering, etc.), researchers and educators, government organizations and other important institutions were invited to attend. The seminars were organized by the Species Leaders of DIVERSIFY in countries where the particular species are cultured --or has the potential to be cultured -- and/or is located centrally in a region with interested aquaculture operations. One seminar was organized for each of the selected species.

The wreckfish Knowledge-transfer Workshop was held in Vigo, Spain on 19-20 July 2018. It was hosted by Dr Blanca Alvarez (IEO, Spain). The presentations included results on reproduction, broodstock nutrition and larval rearing from work carried out within DIVERSIFY. It also included work in the congener "hapuku" from New Zealand, presented from researchers of the National Institute of Water and Atmosphere (NIWA), New Zealand. The 2-day workshop included also a site visit to a farm involved in wreck fish research and the Aquarium Finisterrae of A Coruna, where some of the research on reproduction in DIVERSIFY has taken place (Day 2). Go to Wreckfish workshop page for the presentations and the Species Manual.
The Atlantic halibut Knowledge-transfer Workshop was held in Hjelmeland Spa, Ryfylke, Norway on 11-12 September 2018. It was hosted by Dr Birgitta Norberg (IMR, Norway) and Stirling White Halibut (Norway). The presentations included results from research task included in DIVERSIFY, such as broodstock management, larval rearing, nutrition, health, commercial production and ingrowing systems and marketing. The 2-day workshop included also a site visit to the Atlantic halibut hatchery of Stirling White Halibut and some grow out sites.

The pikeperch Knowledge-transfer Workshop was held in Nancy, France on 27 June 2018. It was hosted by Dr Pascal Fontaine (UL, France). The presentations included results from research in socio-economics and new product development from DIVERSIFY, as well as technical information on broodstock management, nutrition and larval rearing in pikeperch.
