Will Leschen from the Sustainable Aquaculture Group attended the conference the first of its kind on the African   continent -  chairing a session, presenting,  as well as   announcing the winners of the SARNISSA African aquaculture network   cage culture photos competition.  There were   many participants from all sectors - commercial research academia government - from throughout the continent and also globally. Was good to see   a number of Stirling Institute alumni also attending - many now in    jobs and research at the forefront of   African aquaculture development.  For further information on the conference and wide range of contacts there contact Will at wl2@stir.ac.uk
