“Nutrition and feed technology are two fields within aquaculture that undergo continual development, in order to keep pace with new species, raw materials and forms of production. I expect to be able to contribute in my new post to research and development in these fields becoming even more focused on the future,” Dr. Moren said.

Dr. Moren joins a line-up of world-class experts who will discuss the latest aquafeed production knowledge and know-how. These include practical researchers from institutes such as the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and industry specialists.The impact of processing on feed ingredients and nutrient quality, aquafeed processing considerations when using novel ingredients and new aquafeed processing technology will be among the topics discussed in a full day of presentations with a focus on aquafeed processing.

This popular conference brings together aquaculture feed industry professionals from around the world. The 2014 conference took place April 8, 2014 at the BITEC, Bangkok, Thailand.
