Okumus student Poster Award 2013
The 2013 EAS Student Group Ibrahim Okumus Award will be sponsored by EGEMAR Co HATCHERIES (Turkey).
This award honours the life of Professor Ibrahim Okumus (1960-2008) of the Faculty of Fisheries in Rize University, Turkey, and is awarded by the EAS Student Group. Ibrahim was one of the scientific pioneers of Turkish aquaculture and worked tirelessly to promote its sustainable development - at national and international levels - and notably through the FAO European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission and through the EU. He was a loyal and active member of EAS and was the programme co-chair of Aquaculture Europe 2007 in Istanbul. Several months before this important event, he was hospitalised, but came out quickly and got straight back to work to help make the conference a success. He was also active in many European initiatives and research projects. Despite his illness, Ibrahim put his candidature forward to be a member of the 2008-2010 EAS Board of Directors. Such was his commitment to aquaculture and to EAS.In respect to his achievements for next generation researchers, the EAS Student Group awards the BEST STUDENT POSTER CONTRIBUTION at AE2013 in Trondheim with a certificate and a price money of 300 €. This year's price money will be kindly provided by EGEMAR Co HATCHERIES (Turkey; www.egemar.net). We thank EGEMAR for their kind support!
Egemar is now one of the most innovative hatcheries in Turkey, with an active R&D department that devotes itself to developing new species and increasing the success of their existing meagre production. Once the company settled its sea bass and sea bream breeding and feeding protocols in 2000 it began investigating new species, such as meagre (Argyrosomus regius), shi drum (Umbrina cirrosa), sharpsnout seabream (Diplodus puntazzo) and grouper (Epinephelus aeneus). For more info please have a look at this article from Hatchery International written by Turker Bodur.

The meeting took place from the 12th until the 14th of March in Istanbul (Turkey) at Istanbul University, arranged with the kind assistance of Prof. Meric Albay from the Faculty of Fisheries, Department of Freshwater Biology.
The meeting was organized to bring together representatives of European networks in science, technology and industry, dealing with educational matters in the aquaculture sector.
