Great Lakes Aquaculture Days event flyer

Oct. 26 – 27, 2022

Great Lakes Aquaculture Days is a chance for those interested in aquaculture, and its products, to learn more. This year we will be hosting an interactive fish health workshop. This two-day workshop will feature discussions, activities, and Q&A sessions to help get your fish health needs addressed.

Day 1 will be a virtual event half day with presentations and discussions from Great Lakes area fish health experts on how you can take preventative measures to keep your fish healthy.

Day 2 will be an in-person event with a number of talks, a fish dissection, panel discussions and networking time. This day will focus on reactive measures you can take when a fish is sick. The day will conclude with time for attendees to create their own health management plans for their farms or facilities where they work.
