Recirculating Aquaculture and Aquaponic Course Update: This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the most experienced Aquaculture Engineers in the world. Not to be missed. Please share and pass on to your colleagues interested in RAS and AP. Tickets and further info can be found on the NSW Aquaculture Association website nswaqua.au/ Recirculating Aquaculture Systems Technology (RAS); 21 September About the Workshop: Recirculating aquaculture technologies (systems that recondition and reuse water) continue to attract attention and are the subject of considerable capital investment worldwide. This workshop is designed for a broad audience and seeks to provide participants with non-biased, research-based information about the design and management of recirculating aquaculture fish production systems. The information presented comes either from the first-hand research results, findings from the global research community, or the experiences of the presenter with commercial scale producers. Workshop registration includes a technical workbook containing the prints of the slide presentations (electronic PDF copies of the presentations are not available for distribution), a compact disc containing useful publications and spreadsheets. About the Presenter: Dr. Tom Losordo is Director of Aquaculture Systems Engineering for Pentair Aquaculture Technologies. Pentair, a global provider of water technology, has built a reputation for high-performance aquatics equipment to improve water quality and safety. Dr. Losordo is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biological & Agricultural Engineering at North Carolina State University in the United States. Dr. Losordo has a Bachelor degree in Biology and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Biological and Agricultural Engineering. Having been involved in aquaculture for more than 38 years, At NC State University, Dr. Losordo lead a program of applied research and public service in the area of recirculating aquaculture production systems and the treatment of freshwater and marine aquaculture effluents. Known as the North Carolina Fish Barn program, the program developed evaluated and demonstrated new technology for intensive fish farming at the commercial scale. While focusing on tilapia, hybrid striped bass, and most recently sturgeon, the Fish Barn program also investigated the production of rainbow trout, yellow perch, southern flounder, ornamental gold fish and koi carp in recirculating aquaculture systems. Dr. Losordo has provided workshops, lectures and design services worldwide in recirculating and water re-use technologies since 1990.
