We are thrilled to share highlights from our recent training course on Aquaculture Nutrition and Its Intersection with Human Nutrition, held on October 15, 2024, at DFFE’s Marine Research Aquarium in Sea Point, Cape Town, South Africa. Organized by the LIMAQUA international joint laboratory, this course brought together students and stakeholders passionate about sustainable approaches to aquaculture nutrition. With insights from experts at the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), University of Cape Town, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, and at the French research institutes INRAE and IRD, participants delved into key topics including: 🐟 Digestive physiology and nutrition of aquatic organisms 🐟 Functional feeds for healthy development 🐟 Integrated multitrophic aquaculture systems 🐟 The significance of aquatic foods for human health 🐟 Nutrition-sensitive aquaculture A huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of this event! 🙏 Stephane Panserat, Brett Macey, Marissa Brink-Hull, Maretha Van Heerden, Maria J.
