“Fish on farm" - Aquaculture at EuroTier 2006
For the third year in succession, aquaculture is set to attract an ever-growing audience of trade professionals to Hall 23 of EuroTier 2006, the International DLG Exhibition for Livestock & Poultry Production and Management, to be held -November 14 -17 in Hanover, Germany.

Exhibitors include leading suppliers of feed systems, oxygenation and aeration equipment as well as water treatment systems and energy equipment.
The exhibition also sees the return of trout egg suppliers from the
Focus on recirculation systems
The largest area of the aquaculture exhibition will be occupied by recirculation systems. These systems require heated water and so use up a lot of energy. Exploiting waste heat recovery from biogas systems is therefore a growing topic of discussion.
This innovation and many others will be discussed in the daily “Aquaculture Forum”, in which a total of 45 experts and industry representatives talk about the latest industry issues and hold discussions with visitors. The following lectures are scheduled:

In this central meeting point, impartial institutions will also be on hand to deal with individual questions. Advice and support is provided by specialists from the
Niche areas such as fish production need the support of a strong partner in the exhibition market, providing them with an international platform on which to stimulate growth. As a showcase event for professional livestock breeding and a window into new markets, EuroTier is the ideal partner for the aquaculture segment.
Overlaps with the agribusiness segment are far more prominent than at the previous two exhibitions, including areas such as aeration, filter and pumping equipment and feed production, where algae are being tested as additives for compound feeds. Energy is also an important crossover area with aquaculture. In the run-up to EuroTier 2006, companies from both industries have joined forces to establish whether aquaculture could be a lucrative beneficiary of the waste heat generated by biogas systems.
“Hall 23 – the fishing grounds”
The aquaculture exhibition aims to provide an overview of the latest technology, highlight new developments and impart specialist knowledge and advice, guiding visitors to the right product, the right information and the right contact in the shortest possible time. And there's certainly no need to take a packed lunch! Fish farmers have already been lined up to provide mouthwatering fish specialities for visitors.
