The "Zonguldak Aquaculture Contact Forum," hosted by Octo Aqua in Zonguldak, aims to deepen the cooperation between Turkey and Norway in the field of aquaculture. The forum focused on the strategic goals and collaborations of both countries in the fisheries sector.

The forum was attended by Norwegian Ambassador to Ankara Andreas Gaarder, Deputy General Director of Fisheries and Aquaculture at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Dr. Erdinç Güneş, Zonguldak Deputy Governor Muammer Balcı, and numerous representatives from the sector. The event created an important platform for achieving Turkey's goals to increase its production of salmon in the field of aquaculture.

In recent years, Turkey has made significant strides in aquaculture, setting its target for salmon production at 200,000 tons. This effort aims to meet domestic market needs with domestic salmon production while also increasing export potential.

The discussions at the forum provided an important groundwork for enhancing the quality of Turkish salmon, ensuring the efficiency of production processes, and expanding market share. Norway's experience and technology transfer in the field of aquaculture play a crucial role in Turkey's achievement of these goals.

Participants had the opportunity to thoroughly address topics such as innovative production techniques in Turkish salmon production, environmental sustainability, fish health, and marketing strategies. This forum stands out as an example of the deepening cooperation between Turkey and Norway in the field of aquaculture.

With future collaborations and projects, the goal is to increase the recognition of Turkish salmon in the global market. With the strategies identified at the forum, significant steps are expected to be taken towards sustainable growth in Turkish salmon production.
