Over 4 000 participants tune in to free online courses on aquaculture techniques

More than 4000 people participated in the ADC online initative: free online courses on techniques and technologies in aquaculture.
These courses are developed in close collaboration with the GFCM Aquaculture Demonstrative Centres (ADC) in Turkey and Romania.
ADCs fulfill three main objectives:
1. To research and develop new aquaculture techniques and technologies
2. To showcase best practices in aquaculture
3. To train specialists from local and national administrations, academia and the private sector
As their activities are now on hold due to COVID-19, the experts accepted to bring their knowledge directly to your homes. In order to make this technically possible, the GFCM Secretariat has been working to extend its Extranet with teleconferencing systems and streaming services that attendees will be able to access via web browser to follow this initiative.
ADC Online held a first week of courses on shellfish environment and pathologies, organized with the National Institute of Constanta, a second week on turbot aquaculture and restocking, organized with experts from the SUMAE Institute in Trabzon, and a third week of courses on recirculating aquaculutre systems, organized with the SUMAE Institute.
