Research Priorities For 2012/13

February 2012

SARF is about to commence its annual research prioritisation exercise, where we seek to identify the most pressing research needs or knowledge gaps that impact upon the aquaculture sector. These research priorities are put forward for Board discussion by the SARF member organisations, and the Secretariat will be working closely with them on this issue over the coming weeks. If other organisations or individuals have research topics that they consider important, they should discuss these with the most appropriate member organisation - see our Members page.
