No Upset for Faroe Fish Farmers LVHD Tilapia Cage Farming System ProFlex Aps 2013/14 Events
Editorial Welcome to our October issue of Aquaculture Scoop. In this issue we look at Nets and cages and give you an insight into some up-coming events for you to consider. In Trondheim, Norway the world’s largest aquaculture trade show AquaNor took place from August 13 – 16. Attended by 480 exhibitors, with over 18,500 visitors from 65 countries. NISA Media was there at the show at stand V620, to meet companies from all over the world involved in the aquaculture industry. Our news editor Martin Little said the show was a huge success, with companies such as BECK Engineering’s who won the Aqua Nor innovation award at the exhibition, with their Stingray project a revolutionary new technique for dealing with sea lice using laser technology.

He visited many of the exhibitors, seeing the innovations that are taking place within the aquaculture industry from copper netting to mini subs. The exhibition was staged over a large area comprising of five large halls on two levels, and an outdoor area. He would like to thank all the exhibitors he met with over the four-day period with special thanks to Fiskeriportalen, Damen Shipyards, Aquastructures AS and Gazelle Technology AS.
