SHORTLIST ANNOUNCED FOR AQUACULTURE AWARDS 2024

Shortlist announced for Aquaculture Awards 2024

The shortlist for the Aquaculture Awards 2024, announced yesterday, has been drawn from a record number of entries, up more than 20 per cent on last year’s awards.

With almost 100 nominations reflecting the wide range of talent across the sector, the judges had a particularly difficult task selecting winners this year.

The awards, to be presented on May 15 at a gala dinner during Aquaculture UK in Aviemore, include 13 separate categories covering everything from innovation to community initiative, sustainability to animal welfare, and the best of the suppliers and new start-ups.

They recognise both hands-on diligence and high-tech brilliance, honouring those individuals and businesses whose endeavours set them apart from their peers.

And this year, the aquaculture community can get involved in the judging process by voting for the winner of the Outstanding Contribution award, chosen from four shortlisted candidates, each of whom has carved out a distinguished career in their field.

Cheri Arvonio, Awards Director, said: ‘The Aquaculture Awards champion the achievements of the sector over the past year and highlight the exceptional people making a difference, whether at home or abroad.

‘We’re thrilled with the level of engagement this year and look forward to welcoming all those in the running, our award sponsors and some 600 guests for a night of celebration, socialising and Highland fun.’

The awards night, to be hosted by Fred MacAulay, takes place on May 15 at the Macdonald Resort in Aviemore, venue for Aquaculture UK, which runs from May 14-15.
