The first New Zealand Aquaculture Conference agenda covers a wide variety of subjects, all with relevance to the day-to-day management within the sector, providing attendees with an enhanced view of marketing, science and legislative developments with the opportunity to discuss and debate their relevance. What has not been forgotten is the opportunity the conference provides to meet and forge stronger relationships throughout the sector at all levels. The industry has a rich history and a dynamic future and the conference is dedicated to celebrating and developing it further. Attendance is by no means limited to those within the industry.
