The first MENA Aquaculture Training covered a variety of topics, including the advantages of intensive aquaculture systems.

An additional 100 participants attended the second training, where topics included comparative studies on protein sources in aqua feeds, principals of fish nutrition, nutritional diseases of fish in aquaculture and their management, and feeding strategies in different aquaculture systems.

During both webinars, presentations were followed by open discussion among participants, as well as question-and-answer sessions.
