European Aquaculture Society (EAS)
EAS is a meeting place for the sustainable development of aquaculture, through our publications and our Aquaculture Europe events. The idea for establishing the European Mariculture Society was launched at the occasion of the Tenth European Symposium of Marine Biologists, which took place in Oostende, Belgium, in 1975. The founding meeting took place on April 29 and 30, 1976 in the office of the Institute for Marine Scientific Research (IZWO) that has supported the society and has provided office space for the EAS secretariat until the late 80`s.
