International Sea Lice Conference

Fiskaaling Ltd. contributed with 8 presentations at this year’s Aquaculture Conference in Tórshavn.
The audience at the Aquaculture Conference are accostumed to learning about the latest in aquaculture research from Fiskaaling so this year was no exception.

The first presenter from Fiskaaling was Ása Jacobsen, PhD student, presented about micro algae research in 2019. Ása has conducted research to see if certain toxic algae are present in Faroese fjords. She found 3 species, one of which is not toxic but nevertheless otherwise potentially harmful to fish. The research is set to continue in 2020.

Later, Agnes Mols Mortensen, Tróndur Johannesen, Sissal Erenbjerg and Kirstin Eliasen presented 4 scientific teasers, while Heidi Mortensen talked about Nitrite accumulations in smolt.

Finally, writer Helgi Jacobsen, who is currently writing the Fiskaaling 50 years anniversary book, presented some humorous tales from the Faroese aquaculture history.

Fiskaaling is the official host of Sea Lice 2020 International Conference.

Hilton Garden Inn is going to be the first international brand hotel to open in the Faroe Islands. Sealice 2020 Conference participants are going to be among the first guests in this excellent hotel, located near the conference venue in the Nordic House, Tórshavn. Check out the Hilton News Flash

Remember to secure your booking.

Registrations are open, and we are happy to see that already quite a few have secured their participation in the conference. The Faroe Islands are fast becoming a tourist magnet; hotels are selling out, so it is important to register sooner rather than later in order to secure accommodation. See you here in September!
