The Italian Fish Farmers Association (API) is currently working together with SGS to develop the technical assessment and the roadmap for the definition of the EWEAS training programme. For this, they are now detecting the patterns of energy and water in the fish farms; monitoring the actual knowledge and key training needs of the fish farms staff and identifying inefficiencies and possible solutions.
API association members are actively participating in EWEAS by completing the questionnaires. The survey addresses a variety of fish farm facilities encompassing a different nature of aquaculture environment (fresh, brackish, marine water) and family of farmed species, forms of revenue and levels of intensification and technology.
