The Freshwater Institute is the premier coldwater research facility in the world, conducting research on aquaculture technology development, application and demonstration. The Institute has a successful partnership with the USDA Agricul-tural Research Service as it works to research and develop technologies to increase food-fish production, reduce costs, and add to product value and quality, while encouraging industry-wide implementation of environmentally responsible production systems. Participants will visit the wet lab where research is conducted on ultra intensive, large-scale recir-culating systems, with a particular focus on the needs of cold- and cool-water species, centered around a fish culture module built on a one-tenth commercial scale, with an annual production capacity of 35 tons of market-sized product. The tankpad supports studies for improving fish health and growth by investigating new engineering designs for better systems management and effluent treatment, optimizing water quality, and improving husbandry. Past studies have included evalu-ation of non-proprietary double-drain technology for circular tanks, carbon dioxide exposure, and tank velocity studies. The trip from Roanoke to Shepherdstown is approximately three hours by bus through the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.

The tour departs from the North Lobby Entrance of The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center at 6:00 a.m.

AES Issues ForumJuly 23–24, 2008 • Roanoke, Virginia

The AES Issues Forum occurs immediately before the Recirculating Aquaculture conference and is also held at The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center. Gregory Boardman (AES President) and George Flick are hosting this “Members Only” Issues Forum. The forum is designed specifically for AES members to gather and discuss advances and current issues in the field of aquacultural engineering. The 1.5 day forum focuses on two special topics: (1) Production of New Species, and (2) Design, Loading, and Water Quality in Recir-culating Systems for Salmonids. The sessions consist of a mix of invited and contributed presentations.

Check-in registration begins at 11:00 a.m. on July 23. The sessions conclude at 5:30 p.m. on both days. A reception and dinner will be held after the first half-day session on July 23. Continuous refreshments are provided throughout the program and lunch is served on the second day. Registration also includes a CD of the forum proceedings. Selected papers from the Issues Forum will be published in a special issue of Aquacultural Engineering. Visit the web site for abstract submission guidelines: www.cpe.vt.edu/aquaculture. Abstracts are due by February 29. Papers not accepted for the forum will automatically be considered for the Recirculating Aquaculture conference.

Registrations received before June 16 will be $265 and can be submitted on-line or by using the form in this brochure. Those who are not members of AES can participate in the forum by simply joining AES and paying the $25 AES mem-bership fee (also on the registration form). Please contact Greg Boardman by phone at (540) 231-1376, or e-mail: gboard@vt.edu for more information about the 2008 AES Issues Forum. See page 8 for refund and cancellation policy.

Special Session (half day): Production of New Species (Greg Boardman and George Flick)

The focus of this session is on the production of emerg-ing species of finfish. The session includes both invited and submitted abstract presentations. Aquaculture researchers will share their experiences in culturing species that appear to show promise for culture in recirculating systems. Session authors should plan on addressing the challenges faced in culturing the species, special requirements (such as feeds, water quality, and system configuration) of the species and future research areas.

Special Session (one day): Design, Loading, and Water Quality in Recirculating Systems for Salmonids (Steve Summerfelt and Asbjorn Bergheim)

Session organizers are inviting presentations on case studies and research that describe the interaction between recircu-lating system design, loading, and water quality in salmonid production systems. Presentations should also include details on water use (e.g., kg feed per m3 makeup), system exchange rate (e.g., % system volume flushed daily), culture tank

exchange rate (e.g., hydraulic retention time), system pro-duction (tons per yr), unit process treatment efficiency (e.g., waste removed each pass through the unit), system waste capture efficiency, fish performance, and energy consump-tion (e.g., KW per kg produced). Presentations that discuss the important interaction between salmonid welfare and water quality in recirculating systems will also be considered.
