Here’s a sneak peak at one of our latest stories. United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) is addressing challenges in the UK’s aquaculture industry with a £5.1 million investment to fund innovative research. The investment will be used to fund twelve projects aimed at meeting the challenges in the industry. One of the projects involved is developing vaccines made using algae to keep fish free from disease and help protect the UK’s aquaculture industry. Other projects include studying genetics and breeding patterns, looking at how shellfish can be more sustainable, immunising trout against kidney disease and examining how robust salmon are and how susceptible to disease they are at sea. The UK Aquaculture Initiative is a joint BBSRC and NERC project to support high-quality, innovative research and address strategic challenges facing UK aquaculture. Karen Lewis, BBSRC Executive Director, Innovation & Skills, said: “Aquaculture is a key food production sector for the UK. These projects will improve our understanding of the challenges facing aquaculture production.”DiaryFood & DrinkJanuary 22-23, The Food Service/Professional Kitchen Show 27-30, ProSweets Cologne, Germany February 6-8, Fruit Logistica, Germany 12, Food Safety Europe 2018, London 12-13, Food Processing Expo, USA 13-16, Biofach 2019, Germany 17-21, Gulfood, Dubai 19-22, Beviale Moscow, Russia 27-28, Packaging Innovations/Empack 2019, Birmingham March 5, Foodex Japan 7, Natural Products Expo West, US 12, Hi South East Asia, Thailand 13-15, CFIA, France 17-20, IFE/Pro2Pac, London 26, ProFood Tech, US 27, Craft Beer Italy Pick up a copy of Food & Drink International at this event54.qxp_Layout 1 18/12/2018 10:14 Page 1Advanced Engineering MIDDLETON LTDmixing is our businessl Inline High Shear Mixer l 3 Stage High Shear Mixer l Dispersion Mixer l Fluid Mixers l AdPro l Top Entry High Shear Immersion Mixer l Bottom Entry High Shear Mixer l Sealed Bearing Mixermixer design and technologyUnit 5D Transpennine Trading Estate, Gorrells Way, Rochdale, Lancashire OL11 2PX tel: 01706 759003 fax: 01706 759004 email: info@aemixers.com web: www.aemixers.comWishing all our customers a Happy New Yeartel: 01792 586800www.hydratech.co.uk Specialist Fluid SolutionsA range of non-toxic high performance heat transfer fluids, with antifreeze function, for use in food and beverage cooling systems.Corrosion, scale and biological inhibitors to protect cooling and heating systems.
