Årets konferanse gikk av stabelen 13. og 14. oktober 2009 i Reykjavik, Island. Hovedfokus i år var røye - og utvikling av en konkurransedyktig røyenæring i Norden. Marked og salg, avl, driftsteknologi og produksjonsoptimalisering er noen av de viktigste stikkordene for tema som ble presentert. I tillegg besøkte vi det islandske havforskningsinstituttet og to røyeoppdrettsanlegg - derav ett av verdens største!
