Courses organised by PerformFISH

Webinar: A revised Code of Conduct for the Mediterranean fish farming sector & new understandings of markets for sea bass and sea bream

On October 6th 2022 PerformFISH held an interactive webinar to discuss its revised Code of Conduct (CoC) for the Mediterranean marine fish farming sector, which aims to provide guidance on how the sector can better achieve compliance with new European guidelines and consumer demands. Hosted by members of the Federation of Greek Mariculture (FGM), this webinar also included speakers from Avramar and EuroFish and explored how the CoC addresses Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) identified by the PerformFISH project. The webinar also covered perceptions of the sea bass and sea bream market in both traditional and emerging markets and examined the key drivers of these perceptions.

3 PerformFISH Online Training Workshops on

  • Skeletal Malformations
  • Histology is a go-to for hatchery-fish welfare
  • Egg and larval programming as a tool to manipulate aquaculture performance

As part of its capacity building activity, PerformFISH has designed a training programme on the latest understanding of juvenile quality and growth potential in seabream and seabass production. This programme was held online on and broken into three separate workshops on July 7th, 13th and 15th 2022. The course was based on a multidisciplinary integrated approach that translated the outcomes of the PerformFISH project into actionable opportunities for the fin-fish aquaculture industry.

Module 1: Specialised Case Study Discussions on How to Manage a Health Issue on a Sea Bass / Sea Bream Farm

Three short sessions (90 minutes) have been designed for seabass and seabream health and welfare experts. In these sessions the experts attending have been provided with a mock case based on real situations in sea bream and sea bass health and disease management designed by the organising team. The mock cases are sent to the selected attendees two days in advance and they are requested to send in advance and present in the session their own proposed recommendations or proposed solutions for each case. During the 90 minutes sessions all proposals are shared and discussed.

Reports on the sessions held will be available soon.

Module 2: Practical Short Training Courses on Diagnostics of Sea Bass and Sea Bream Diseases

This module is divided into three short training courses that are being held online. The courses focus on different aspects of diagnostics in sea bass and sea bream diseases and health management such as basic diagnostic methodologies and protocols, specific parasitological diagnostic and specific diagnostic methodologies, and protocols in microbiology. Advances, methods, and standards derived from the different PerformFISH activities are also being presented in these sessions.

All applicable international, national and/or institutional guidelines for the care and use of animals were followed and the procedures here performed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institution (D. Lgs n. 26, 4 March 2014, Implementation of the Directive 2010/63/EU on protecting animals used for scientific purposes – Note of Ministry of Health 0017710-P-26/07/2017).
