Patrick Fitzsimmons' blog from the summer of 2008 in Egypt.
This will be the eighth of the highly successful series of symposia that have brought together tilapia biologists who review the latest discoveries in tilapia biology, ecology improvements in production systems, and other fields related to tilapia and their use in aquaculture. The symposium will have a special emphasis on best management practices, quality control, new product forms, international trade, and opening new markets for Egyptian produced tilapia products. The symposium will include a trade/exhibit show, which will provide a forum for industry suppliers, seafood marketers, and the aquaculture press to meet directly with researchers and producers. Field trips are being organized to nearby aquaculture sites.
