Participation at the Aquaculture Europe conference held in Vienna (September 18-21, 2023)

I attended the recently concluded Annual Aquaculture Europe Conference held in Vienna from September 18th to 21st this year. During the event, I presented my research on the utilization of biocontrol and fungicides in aquaponics, engaging with experts on the importance of pest and disease management in the food production system. In addition to my presentation, I actively participated in various sessions covering topics such as alternative ingredients in nutrition, integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA), microbiome research, nature-based solutions, environmental impact and interactions, as well as aquaponics and urban farming – all of which are closely related to aquaponics. Lastly, I took part in networking gatherings aimed at fostering research connections for future studies and grant applications.
