Elasmobranch FAITAG workshop Arnheim, 12-13 March 2012

1st Announcement

Elasmobranch FAITAG workshop

12 - 13 of March 2012

Burgers’ Zoo Arnhem, The Netherlands

The workshop will be held under the umbrella of the EAZA and EUAC as part of the Fish and Aquatic Invertebrate TAG (FAITAG).

The goal of this workshop is to discuss how we should proceed in Europe on the sustainable management of captive elasmobranches.

We’ll focus on the following subjects: collection planning, breeding programs, breeding, surplus, husbandry problems and communication.

This means it’s a workshop, where small groups will collaborate together to find solutions.

The workshop should result in an action plan for the next 5 years.

So there will be not many presentation, but more discussion and small working groups to bring this subject hopefully to a following level.
