Staff Departure Message
Dear Friends & Colleagues,
All good things have to come to an end.... and so it is with sadness that I announce my departure from AquaTT. I would like to thank everyone for all their support during the past 18 months. I really enjoyed working with you and no doubt I will see you at some stage in the near future.
Goodbye,
Lorraine Rafferty :)

Aquaculture Feed Extrusion, Nutrition, & Feed Formulation - Ghent, Belgium 18th - 19th September 2006
This practical short course is a crash course for new plant personnel and an opportunity for experienced staff to meet with experts in the field to discuss current problems to improve plant operations. The course material will also serve as useful reference for processors, product formulators, chemists and technicians as well as business managers familiar with aquaculture feed, extrusion, nutrition and feed management.

PESCALEX aims to create content and language integrated learning (CLIL) courses in fish health/disease for the benefit of specific areas of Europe where the aquaculture industry is vital to the economy. Its CLIL language learning methodology will enable users to both teach and learn vocationally-oriented material through the medium of a foreign language.
A virtual learning environment will be constructed with:
* 4 multi-lingual modules in 6 languages (EL, EN, ES, FR, NO, PL). These will form part of a blended learning framework (tutor-led with online ODL materials).
* 4 course modules: Quality Assurance for Fish Health Management, Basic techniques in Fish Haematology, Cost-effective Feeding for Fish, Fish Diseases. The last module is completely new and work has already begun on developing this course in the required basic language structures. The first three exist in English, Norwegian and Greek and will have to be translated into French, Spanish and Polish. On its completion, the Fish Diseases module will also be translated into the above languages.
* A collection of specific scientific terminology concerning fish health/diseases in English, French, Greek, Spanish, Norwegian and Polish.
* Existing basic level language learning modules, which will be used to support the delivery of the CLIL materials (English, French, Spanish, Norwegian, Polish, Greek, Portuguese and Swedish)
There will be a Final Workshop where the deliverables will be demonstrated to a wide audience of interested users, probably in France in June/July 2007.
The scope of the XII International symposium is to explore and present original research work in all aspects of fish and crustacean nutrition. An ideal venue for interaction between scientists and professionals, this four-day symposium will have eight half-day sessions, including plenary lectures by renowned scientists and professionals and oral presentations of original scientific work (15 minutes incl. discussion) and a discussion of posters.
