Dear Seafood Colleagues:
If many of you are like me and waited until the last minute to submit
your abstract for the TAFT meeting 10-14 June in Iceland, then you (we)
have another chance.
The abstract deadline was extended until February 15 for volunteer
papers. I've made my travel plans already. Now, all I have to do is
finish my abstract before February 15th.
Hope to see many of you this June at the first Joint Meeting of the
WEFTA and AFTC. Remember, COLLABORATION EQUALS INNOVATION, so why not
spend a few days interacting with some of the most knowledgeable
researchers and educators in seafood science and processsing technology
in the world today.
See you soon!
Dave Green
The 2003 Trans-Atlantic Fisheries Technology (TAFT) Conference will meet
June 10-14 at the Grand Hotel in Reykjavik, Iceland.
This first joint conference combines the 33rd annual Western European
Fish
Technologists' Association (WEFTA) conference and the 48th Atlantic
Fisheries Technology Conference (AFTC).
The conference will focus on increasing awareness and international
networking in fisheries research to ensure development of high quality,
health promoting and safe fish products. A broad base of topics will
include:
· Molecular biology techniques for use in fish and fishery products;
· Development of new, functional fish products to promote human health
and well-being;
· Novel components derived from marine origin including better
utilization of by-products, fish waste and effluents from fish
processing;
· Scientific bases for international standards on quality and safety of
fish products;
· Aquaculture's contribution to new seafood products and future supply;
· Influence of feed and feeding processes on quality factors such as
nutrient composition and eating quality of aquacultural species;
· Consumer perceptions to fish consumption; and,
· Traceability in the fishery chain to increase consumer confidence in
fish products.
