A five-day excursion was conducted on 2-6 May 2022 with 1st year students of the follow-up Master's degree in courses dealing with intensive aquaculture and pond aquaculture. A total of 24 different facilities, organizations and locations in three countries (AT, CZ, SK) were visited. These included different types of facilities: ponds, fish hatcheries, aquaponics, RAS, educational organizations, public aquariums and exhibitions, trout farms, fish processing plants, fish stores, etc. The program included an active tasting of fish specialties and products. The time schedule and program of the excursion was fulfilled and as a bonus we were able to be present at the artificial spawning of the Danube salmon, which was an unforgettable experience for many participants.
The realization of the excursion was financially supported by the Interreg programme within the ATCZ221-Algae4fish project (programme in Austria and South Moravia) and by faculty resources for the teaching of the IACS (other locations). Thank you!
