Workshop
Marine Teleost TAG - Eggspedition workshop taking place on the 6th of October in Istanbul.
Practical information: Please meet in front of the aquarium at 9.45 on the 6th of October 2025.
The workshop is organised by the Eggspedition Europe Working Group, a subgroup of the Marine Teleost TAG. The presenter is Sander van Lopik from the RoffaReefs Program at Rotterdam Zoo. The workshop aims to promote sustainable marine teleost breeding in European public aquariums by advancing techniques for egg collection and identification, which are foundational for future conservation efforts. These methods are already in use in in-situ projects led by RoffaReefs, with initial ex-situ tests underway at several EUAC member aquariums. Registration is now closed
