[Sc-aquaponics] FW: NAA Industry Update: Free Webinar - Aquaculture Animal Welfare

Mon Oct 1 09:01:47 EDT 2018

Upcoming webinar on aquatic animal welfare brought to you by the US Aquaculture Society and the National Aquaculture Association.

This should be a great webinar regardless if you're in academia, government, or the private sector.

"There is a need to develop and support functional, non-regulatory welfare standards for aquaculture in the US that document current and historical welfare practices."

Also, for those fish/shrimp farmers, being able to tell your story well and being on the forefront of the latest research to better educate your customers is key.

Aquaculture Animal Welfare
Free Webinar

The US Aquaculture Society and National Aquaculture Association are hosting a free webinar entitled, Aquaculture Animal Welfare, at 11:00 am (Eastern Standard Time) on Friday, October 19, 2018.

Aquatic animal welfare standards are being voluntarily adopted or regulated into existence in other countries; sometimes these rules are based more on public perception and opinion, rather than science.  There is a need to develop and support functional, non-regulatory welfare standards for aquaculture in the US that document current and historical welfare practices.

Four speakers will present an update on these efforts in various parts of the world (European Union, Norway and Australia), which can be compared with the situation in the US.  In the absence of existing regulations, the US aquaculture community needs to proactively incorporate animal welfare standards into current and future aquaculture production systems.

Speakers include:

  *   Craig Watson, Director, University of Florida, Tropical Aquaculture Laboratory, Ruskin, Florida.
  *   Howard Browman, Principle Research Scientist, Institute of Marine Research, Austevoll Research Station, Storebø, Norway.
  *   Ben Diggles, Director, DigsFish Services Pty, Ltd, Bribie Island, Australia.
  *   Randy MacMillan, Vice-President for Research, Technical Services and Quality Assurance, Clear Springs Foods, Buhl, Idaho.

The webinar will be coordinated from Auburn University with the help of the Alabama Cooperative Extension System.
