The Fishfarmer Conference is the year's most important meeting place for everyone working in land-based aquaculture.

The aquaculture industry is a rapidly developing industry. Major investments are being made in facilities and development, while costs have increased significantly in recent years. Higher material prices, energy prices and other cost drivers are increasing the pressure on innovation, efficiency and risk reduction in the operation of the facilities. Designers and developers must dig deeper into the knowledge that is available, and the expertise must be secured among customers and users of the facilities.

The Fish Farmer Conference brings together industry experts, researchers, producers and decision-makers to share knowledge, experiences and best practices. Through exciting presentations, panel discussions and networking opportunities, we explore innovative strategies, technologies and operational methods to strengthen the land-based aquaculture industry.
