RASTECH Conference and Trade Fair

Why attend?
RASTECH 2022 is an international technical conference and trade show serving owners and operators of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS).
Whether it’s raising fish juveniles, producing larger smolt, growing full harvest size fish, aquaponics or research, RAS technology continues to lead the way in the continued expansion of the aquaculture industry around the globe.
As populations rise, so does the demand for seafood. Having already proven its value and efficiencies in the hatchery segment of aquaculture, RAS continues to evolve and develop as one of the most promising farming technologies for raising healthy fish to help meet the world’s growing need for protein.
Who should attend RASTECH?
- Fish farmers/producers/operators of RAS
- Fish Hatchery professionals
- Engineers, contractors and consultants
- Research and University professionals
- Investors in RAS
RASTECH 2022 is a capped in-person niche event (limited to 300 RAS professionals). Registration priority is given to the above listed professionals.
Supplier registrations will be refunded (unless they are presenters/speakers or RAS designers/contractors).
