EducationSCOFDA workshop “Diagnosis and Control of Fish Diseases”, 4-5 November 2008, Copenhagen (Denmark) Main themes of the next SCOFDA workshop are “Control of Pathogens in Warm Water Aquaculture” and “Recirculated Model Trout Farms”. The workshop is organised by the University of Copenhagen, Faculty of Life Sciences in Frederiksberg C (Denmark). For more information, please mail Kurt Buchmann at kub@life.ku.dkTraining course: FP7 Financial and Project Management, 13–14 November 2008, Budapest (Hungary) FP7 Grant Agreement Negotiations are tougher and more stressful than before. Deadlines are strict and partners are sometimes uncooperative. This is only the beginning of FP7 project management. The financial rules and reporting procedures have been modified and audits are playing an increasing role. The FP7 Financial and Project Management course will help ensure successful implementation of your FP7 projects and will also give added insight into how to successfully handle EC and partner communication. For more information, please check: http://www.eutrainingsite.com/open_details.php?id=45 Training Course: Fish Health Management, 16-27 November 2008, WorldFish Regional Center at Abbassa (Egypt) This Fish Health Management training course is designed for fish hatchery/farm managers, technicians, veterinarians, paraveterinarian professionals, extension agents, food safety specialists and researchers. The focus of the course will be on warm water fish, including both freshwater and marine species.

Training Programme on Regional Ocean Governance for Mediterranean and Eastern European countries, 16 November – 19 December 2008, Malta The theme of the Regional Ocean Governance course draws upon the conduct of maritime affairs in line with the Lisbon Strategy, targeting the Millennium Development Goals and building upon a holistic and integrated maritime policy following the principles enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. It focuses on the linkages between the natural, social and economic sciences to the development of sustainable ocean governance, and on the research-management interface that can render governance operable. The Course stresses the inter-linkages of multi-disciplinary inputs, and on the support of technology to enable the effective achievement of ocean management and sustainable development. For more information please check http://www.capemalta.net/ioimoc/course2008/index.html Ph.D. course “Physical and biochemical methods for analysis of fish as food”, 17-21 November 2008, Kgs. Lyngby (Denmark) Eating quality of the end product is an issue of increased importance in aquaculture. Research in this area often requires measurement of the different constituents of the fish. In this context the Ph.D. course in “Physical and biochemical methods for analysis of fish as food” has been announced. The course takes place at DTU Aqua, Dept. of Seafood Research, Søltofts Plads, Building 221, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark. The aim of the course is to provide insight into the state of the art of advanced laboratory techniques and methods that are recommended for analysis of fish muscle components relevant in studies of ante mortem (e.g. feed, stress) effects on fish as well as for following post mortem changes in fish. The course comprises 5 days of exercises. For further information see: http://www.aqua.dtu.dk/upload/dfu/kalender/phdcourse_methods_analysis_fish_food_2008.pdf Course: Introduction to river hydrology and hydraulics, 25-26 November 2008 or 24-25 February 2009, HR Wallingford Ltd (UK) HR Wallingford’s popular hydrology and hydraulics course has been revised for 2008/2009 and as a result we are pleased to offer two linked introductory courses on hydraulics, hydrology and flood risk (see also Introduction to flood risk analysis and management). These linked two-day courses can be taken on their own, or as a combined package. When booked together you will receive a discount of over 15% on the separate registration fees. When booking as a combined course you have the added flexibility of taking one of the courses in February.

Applied Training Workshop - “From Theory to the Application of Genomics in Northern European Aquaculture: Basis and Prospects”, 3 December 2008, Institute of Aquaculture, Stirling (UK) This workshop is organised by Institute of Aquaculture in Stirling and Genesis Faraday as part of the Aquagenome EU project to disseminate knowledge and training in genomics in aquaculture. This workshop is focused on the application of genomic technologies to northern aquaculture species (salmon, trout, cod, etc) in contrast to the recent workshop held in Paris which focused on temperate and Mediterranean aquaculture species. Advanced Course: Fisheries restocking and stock enhancement, 15-19 December 2008, Zaragoza (Spain) The Advanced Course "Fisheries restocking and stock enhancement" aims to provide participants with the knowledge and skills required for assessing where and when restocking or stock enhancement can contribute to fisheries management goals, and for developing and managing such initiatives effectively. The course is designed around an enhancement fisheries system framework, emphasizing how outcomes of enhancement are dependent on a combination of attributes of the fish stock, fishing techniques, aquaculture production, habitat, stakeholder characteristics, markets, and institutional arrangements. For more information, please visit: http://www.iamz.ciheam.org/ingles/cursos08-09/restocking-08-pub-ing.htm Advanced course: Seafood safety management based on risk analysis, 19-23 January 2009, Zaragoza (Spain) The Advanced Course "Seafood safety management" will provide participants an insight into the process of risk analysis and its application in seafood safety management. By the end of the course, the participants will: Practical short course: Aquafeed Platform – Aquaculture feed extrusion, nutrition & feed formulation, 26-27 February 2009, Ghent (Belgium) Advanced course: Methodologies for fisheries stock assessment in the Mediterranean, 16-20 March 2009, Zaragoza (Spain) The objective of the course is to train stock assessment scientists and advisors in advanced approaches and tools that are better adapted to the nature of Mediterranean fisheries. The course is intended not only to present the theoretical elements but also to guide participants on how to put theory into practice through case studies and hands-on exercises on the computer. The deadline for the submission of applications is 5 January 2009. For more information, please check http://www.iamz.ciheam.org/en/pages/paginas/pag_formacion6.htm
Training course: Towards participatory fisheries governance, 16 March – 03 April 2009, Wageningen (the Netherlands) In this training course cases of fisheries co-management will be analysed to determine the conditions for success. The implications of choosing for this approach will be examined, and the toolbox available to the fisheries manager to regulate fishing effort will be discussed. Course: Fisheries data collection and analysis, 6-24 April 2009, Wageningen (the Netherlands) Information about fishers, catch, effort, fish stocks, processing and trade form the basis for policy choices, management plans and evaluation. When not the sector, but the whole aquatic ecosystem is the object to be managed, also information about the impacts of fishing on other, non-target components of the aquatic ecosystem needs to be collected and analysed. In this course participants will learn to appraise what information is essential (both socio-economic and fisheries science information). Techniques to collect socio-economic information will be taught, and participants are guided to develop a more analytical attitude towards fisheries data and catch/effort information.
