Welcome to our October issue of Aquaculture Scoop.
In this issue we look at Nets and cages and give you an insight into some up-coming events for you to consider. In Trondheim, Norwaythe worlds largest aquaculture trade showAquaNortook place from August 13 16. Attended by 480 exhibitors, with over 18,500 visitors from 65 countries.NISA Mediawas there at the show atstand V620, to meet companies from all over the world involved in theaquaculture industry. Ournews editor Martin Littlesaid the show was a huge success, with companies such asBECK Engineeringswho won theAqua Nor innovation awardat the exhibition, with theirStingray projecta revolutionary new technique for dealing withsea liceusing laser technology. He visited many of the exhibitors, seeing the innovations that are taking place within the aquaculture industry from copper netting to mini subs. The exhibition was staged over a large area comprising of five large halls on two levels, and an outdoor area. He would like to thank all the exhibitors he met with over the four-day period with special thanks toFiskeriportalen,Damen Shipyards,Aquastructures ASandGazelle Technology AS. We look forward to returning toAqua Nor in 2015, so until then we wish all the companies we met with and those we did not all the success for the future.
