ANNOUNCING NATIONAL FISHERIES INSTITUTE 2007 TECHNICAL CONFERENCE
National Fisheries Institute announces the 2007 Technical Conference at the
Disney Coronado in Orlando, FL January 29th through Feb. 1st. The fourth in
the series of biennial conferences, this year’s program offers scientific
reviews on timely topics such as neurological and cardiovascular benefits of
omega 3’s in human health, understanding the benefits versus the risk of
seafood consumption, and the quest for U.S. organic seafood standards. The second
day will offer concurrent sessions on product development, with a focus on
functional ingredients, and traceability and authenticity in the global supply
chain. Technical sessions will highlight research on post-harvest
treatments to control pathogens from high pressure processing to antimicrobial
packaging. Exhibit hours will afford the opportunity to take a closer look at
applications presented in the sessions. Registration materials will be available
soon, but do not wait to mark your calendars!

Barbara:
Will there be any technical discussion on product substitution and how the
industry can be assured as to what kind of fish they are buying/receiving?
Product substitution is rampant in many parts of the country and this issue
needs to be put on the table for discussion to see what technical help, if any,
can be created to stop it.
Thank you.
