During September 2007, Jayne Gallagher (the Australian Seafood CRC's Programs Manager, attendance paid by Seafood Services Australia) and Roy Palmer (Seafood Cooperative Research Centre's Industry Training Education and Program Leader, attendance paid by Tigrey Pty Ltd) attended the World Seafood Congress in Dublin, Ireland where they discovered lots of opportunities for the Centre. After the welcome speeches by Ms Mary Coughlan T.D (Minister for Agriculture Fisheries and Food for Ireland), Dr Grimur Valdimarsson (FAO) and key speaker, Dr Michael Crawford, Director of The Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition in London, set the tone of the Congress with a talk about why the oceans of the world need to be agriculturised. Another important theme that came through the Congress was that of sustainable development and the focus was on the giant supermarket chain’s desires. Australians speaking at the event were Dr Steve Kennelly, Mark Boulter (Sydney Fish Market) and Roy Palmer. Other CRC people seen at the Congress were Bryan Skepper (Sydney Fish Market) and Dr Graham Mair (Seafood CRC Program Leader 1A).

With 80 countries (1700 companies) participating in the trade event and over 10 exhibiting halls (and just under 30,000 people from 150 countries visiting the conference), the three days of the event feels like a whirlwind of activity.
