Gospodarsko Razstavisce Exhibition and Congress Centre, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Aquaculture Europe 2026 will feature special forums for industry, where presentations and panel discussions focus on relevant and timely issues for the sector. Other industry-oriented events will take place around the trade exhibition, and technical tours will be organised.
AE2026 is a focal point for meetings of European associations, satellite workshops of EU projects and other events. Regional and international companies will present their latest products and services at the trade exhibition.
Food systems, including aquaculture, are being challenged by changes resulting from global warming.
These affect all forms of aquaculture, in inland and coastal marine regions, and especially small and medium sized operators that may not have the financial and operational capacity to implement adaptation and mitigation measures.
There are opportunities to diversify to new species production or the combined production of species that can better mitigate effects.
Opportunities also lie in the development of a clear and transparent credit system for the carbon sequestration and other ecosystem services that aquatic animal groups, whether in freshwater or coastal habitats, provide.
AE2026 will put the focus on adaptation to climate effects, the latest research on species adaption capacity and the health/welfare/nutrition/breeding factors that underline this.
Since 1976, EAS has been bringing people together for the sustainable development of European aquaculture. This year celebrates the 50th anniversary and will look back on key moments and key persons that made EAS what it is today. It will also look forward - continuing to expand student activities and network, and propose benefits for members that are suited to their profile and needs.
