I.A.F

aquafeed

International Aquafeed magazine addresses the global aquaculture industry in terms of feeding and nutrition. It is the oldest and most respected publication that explains scientific developments in feeding fish in an eaasy-to-understand way together with the management of fish growing and fish production systems. It has spawned several other titles that now address the aquafeed industry. However, IAF remains the most authoritative publication in its sector and is available both online and in print worldwide.

International Aquafeed magazine supports the development of BioMarine Business Convention as it fully appreciates the necessity of company and organisational leaders to come together to agree new ventures and business developments. Without this unique forum – where CEOs and industry leaders can meet each other in an informal and relaxed atmosphere to exchange ideas and to address joint business agreements – the aim of protecting the environment and aquaculture resources while improving food safety and other non-food production efficiencies could not be achieved. BioMarine Business Conventions are key to achieving sustainable development that provides benefits to all.
