The hatchery for our endemic species, the Abant Trout, which we personally designed, installed, commissioned, and provided initial training for back in 2014, has been officially transferred from the General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks to the Bolu Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry.
At the VII. Workshop on Fish Nutrition and Feed Technology, organized by Çanakkale 18 Mart University in Çanakkale on November 27–28, 2025, we delivered our hands-on training sessions on VodaIQ Electronic Identification Systems alongside our esteemed expert, Dr. Armando Piccinini, throughout both the first and second days of the workshop. Dr. Piccinini also gave a presentation on "Importance of PIT Tagging in Aquaculture Selective Breeding Programs."
