We’re crossing the globe

to attend industry events near you

February


Aquaculture 2016

February 22nd – 26th

Las Vegas, Nevada

Our engineer-in-training, Adam is presenting his master’s thesis work. His thesis focused on the hydrodynamic wake properties of scale model fish cages and fish cage arrays, to gain a better understanding of wake velocity, wake topology, wake turbulence and wake recovery. The results of his work are being used to better understand how to place extractive species in aquaculture farms for optimized nutrient extraction.

Check out Adam’s session IMTA/Aquaculture on Wednesday, February 24th at 10:30am. Location TBD
