This is the 15th consecutive "International Symposium on Fish Nutrition and Feeding" (ISFNF) being arranged.
The ISFNF is held every other year in various locations throughout the world. In 2008 the conference took place in Florianópolis, Brazil, and Beijing hosted the event in 2010.
The conference is considered to be the most important meeting place for researchers and companies with an R&D focus in the area of fish feed and feeding.
More than 500 researchers from around the globe are expected to attend the conference in Molde, Norway, to share their latest findings in the field.
Nofima will host the event along with the Aquaculture Protein Centre (APC), the National Institute of Nutrition and Seafood Research (NIFES), the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science (NVH) and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (UMB).
Several sponsors from trade and industry have also expressed their interest in helping to support the conference.
Preliminary suggestions for key areas in 2012.
- Sustainable resource.
- Health, welfare and ethics.
- New methods and working-tools.
- Feed technology and feeding regime.
- Nutrigenomics and molecular nutrition.
- ‘omics’ data and system biology models.
- Nutritoxicology.
