Master Study possibilities at Hólar University College (Iceland)

The Department of Aquaculture and Fish Biology at Hólar University College in Iceland has two openings for a master’s study in Aquaculture:

1. Biological optimization at juvenile and during on-growing stage of farmed Arctic charr
The aim of the project is to create a basis for a significant increase in the productivity of Arctic charr aquaculture by defining optimal culture environment under intensive conditions. In the project new rearing methods and protocols will be developed by environmental manipulations of rearing temperature, salinity and photoperiod in order to increase productivity by maximising growth rate, improve feed efficiency and reduce maturation.
 
2. Efficient rearing systems for Arctic charr
Aquaculture requires large volumes of water and the size and production capacity of fish farms is in most places ultimately determined by access to water and geothermal heat. The objective of this project is to reduce water requirements in Arctic charr aquaculture. Through simple reuse of water we plan to reduce water requirements by 75% compared with standard reference values in Arctic char fish farms in Iceland. This will allow a corresponding increase in production from the same volume of water.

Those interested should contact Dr. Helgi Thorarensen, head of the department – helgi@holar.is, +354 455 6384. Further information http://www.holar.is/english/rstudy.htm

PROFET POLICY in 2007

To date, „PROFET POLICY‟ has organised 5 Workshops in 2007, providing an important forum for the exchange of views between National and European policy makers and stakeholders in the aquaculture and fisheries sectors.

The first aquaculture workshop on Coldwater Marine aspects was held in Bergen in March and provided many interesting presentations on challenges and issues facing this sector. In November a workshop on the future of Mediterranean Marine Aquaculture was held in Athens, and the last workshop to date was held in December in Warsaw on Continental Freshwater Aquaculture. The fisheries workshops (held in Vilnius [Lithuania] and Dublin [Ireland]) have been equally successful, providing active debate on issues of concern. Participants in the workshops have received printed compilations of Technical Leaflets developed within the project on projects made under the 5th and 6th Framework Programmes, focusing on their relevance to policy – primarily the Common Fisheries Policy. These are also published on the Profet Policy website and have been formatted for easy printing. More information about the project and past and future workshops: http://www.profetpolicy.info/

Symposium: Coping with Global Change in Marine Social-Ecological Systems, 6 – 11 July 2008, FAO, Rome (Italy)

The recent 4th Assessment Reports of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) identified a number of climate-related changes that are very likely to occur to marine systems in the near future. In addition, global changes are taking place in human systems which impact the oceans, including intensive fishing and globalisation of trade. Marine ecosystem changes have impacts on, and consequences for, the human communities that depend on these systems, and how these human communities respond to these changes can have reciprocal impacts on marine ecosystems. Understanding the important issues and collaborating with other disciplines is essential for correctly interpreting the causes and dealing with the consequences of global changes in marine social-ecological systems. The central goals of the symposium are to share experiences across disciplines and to identify key next steps and common elements and approaches that promote resilience of marine social-ecological systems in the face of global changes.

The newsletter is intended to keep you informed of developments in education, training and related areas. The current newsletter audience includes: lecturers, professors, researchers, trainers, students, producers, policy makers, companies and national/ international associations.

All old Training News is archived on the AquaTT site: www.aquatt.ie

AquaTT welcomes any feedback regarding content, presentation and user-friendliness of the newsletter. Please forward this mail to any colleagues that may be interested. Please submit any relevant information for dissemination in the newsletter to news@aquatt.ie
