Dr. Moren took up her post as Director of Research at the Norwegian food research institute in October, where she takes responsibility for the Nutrition and Feed Technology research areas of Nofima´s Aquaculture division.
"Dr. Moren´s team carries out research, development and innovation projects along the complete aquaculture value chain, with a special focus on research into new feed raw materials, feed technology and questions related to nutrition", Aquafeed Horizon´s organiser, Suzi Dominy said. "Nofima´s expertise dovetails with the theme of this year´s conference, and we are excited by the knowledge and expertise Dr. Moren will be able to contribute to the meeting".
“Nutrition and feed technology are two fields within aquaculture that undergo continual development, in order to keep pace with new species, raw materials and forms of production. I expect to be able to contribute in my new post to research and development in these fields becoming even more focused on the future,” Dr. Moren said.
Dr. Moren joins a line-up of world-class experts who will discuss the latest aquaculture feed production knowledge and know-how. These include practical researchers from institutes such as the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and industry specialists. The impact of processing on feed ingredients and nutrient quality, aquafeed processing considerations when using novel ingredients and new aquafeed processing technology will be among the topics discussed in a full day of practically-orientated presentations.
This popular conference brings together aquaculture feed industry professionals from around the world. The 2014 conference took place April 8, 2014 at the BITEC, Bangkok, Thailand.
