There will be many workshops attached to World Aquaculture Adelaide, some are open to everyone and some are specifically for invited people. Here we promote two workshops which are open to all, one is new for Australia and the other is a regular event. Both are high level and unlikely to be repeated in Adelaide.
The new one is the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) Auditor Course. The course will be run by Lisa Goché and Jeff Peterson from 1-7 June 2014 and will be based at the Rockford Hotel in Adelaide. The Global Aquaculture Alliance invites new auditor candidates, returning auditors requiring refresher training, producers, government officials and other industry observers to attend a Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) Auditor Training Course in Adelaide, Australia, from June 1 to 7, 2014.
BAP is the world’s major aquaculture certification organisation and with the growth in certification comes the need for additional compliant auditors. The course will cover the following BAP standards: Processing Plant, Finfish and Crustacean Farm, Salmon Farm, Mussel Farm, Hatchery and Feed Mill. To register you need to visit http://www.bestaquaculturepractices.org/ and follow the instructions from there. For those staying on to WAA14 there is a 10 per cent discount so do not forget to ask how to apply for that.
Dr.Tom Losordo, who has an incredible track record at Australian Aquaculture events having assisted well over 2000 people relating to aquaculture recirculation, is now working with Dr.Wilson Lennard and with the support of Pentair Ltd will be delivering Recirculating Aquaculture Technology & Aquaponics Workshops which will take place on 6 & 7 June at Adelaide Convention Centre.
To register for these workshops then please go to go to http://www.aquaculture.org.au/images/downloads/WA14_RAS_WORKSHOP_WEB%20.pdf.
The interest in Aquaponics in Australia today is incredibly high so please do not be late with your registration. Pentair are now establishing their business in Australia and with the two experts in Tom and Wilson it promises to be an interesting workshop – certainly there would be little that these people do not know on this subject.
