The Offshore Aquaculture Conference
Offshore Aquaculture rely on world-class ocean technologies from the maritime- and O&G industries to build the next generation sea-based food production. Aquaculture is the most rapidly expanding food industry in the world as it delivers on the need for increased food production to a growing world population.
The 2nd Offshore Aquaculture Conference
Co-operation and joint developments among ocean-based industries will be crucial to the implementation and the international expansion of offshore aquaculture. The 2025 Offshore Aquaculture conference invites you to learn more about the international market potential for offshore aquaculture and to meet the players that will define the offshore aquaculture decades to come.
