Proceedings of the 2nd workshop on diversification in inland finfish aquaculture

Proceedings of the 2nd workshop on diversification in inland finfish aquaculture The DIFA II workshop (DIVERSIFICATION IN INLAND FINFISH AQUACULTURE II) was organized by the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters, University of South Bohemia, Czech Republic and the CENAKVA and held from 24 to 26 September 2013 in Vodňany, the Czech Republic. The workshop was divided into four sessions: Quality of fish flesh and nutrition, Reproduction and Biotechnology, Pollutants in the aquatic environment, and Freshwater aquaculture of commercially interesting fish. Some 118 experts from 16 countries around the world attended the workshop, with an opportunity to hear 46 oral presentations and to see 50 posters within these 3 days. In addition to other distinguished guests, we were very pleased to welcome the presence of Mr. Feng Xuan, the Counsellor for Science from the P. R. China in the Czech Republic. During the workshop, the chairmen of each session evaluated the students’ oral and poster presentations. During the final ceremony the workshop organizer, Martin Pšenička, honored the two winners, both from the ranks of young scientists of the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czech Republic. The award for the best oral presentation was given to Hilal Güralp (Laboratory of Reproductive Physiology), for ‘Embryonic stages and primordial germ cells development in pikeperch Sander lucioperca (Teleostei: Percidae)’, authors: H.

Abstract

The DIFA II workshop (DIVERSIFICATION IN INLAND FINFISH AQUACULTURE II) was organized by the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters, University of South Bohemia, Czech Republic and the CENAKVA and held from 24 to 26 September 2013 in Vodňany, the Czech Republic. The workshop was divided into four sessions: Quality of fish flesh and nutrition, Reproduction and Biotechnology, Pollutants in the aquatic environment, and Freshwater aquaculture of commercially interesting fish. Some 118 experts from 16 countries around the world attended the workshop, with an opportunity to hear 46 oral presentations and to see 50 posters within these 3 days. In addition to other distinguished guests, we were very pleased to welcome the presence of Mr. Feng Xuan, the Counsellor for Science from the P. R. China in the Czech Republic. During the workshop, the chairmen of each session evaluated the students’ oral and poster presentations. During the final ceremony the workshop organizer, Martin Pšenička, honored the two winners, both from the ranks of young scientists of the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czech Republic.
