It was a great pleasure to welcome 175 attendees from 14 coastal states, 18 commercial shellfish and finfish companies, 16 colleges or universities, 3 aquaculture magnet high schools, and 7 federal marine laboratories to the 36th Milford Aquaculture Seminar (MAS) held at the Courtyard Marriott Shelton from January 11-13, 2016. This distribution showcases the scope of these seminars that since 1975 have brought together persons from all aspects of aquaculture. Our scientific sessions at the 36th MAS included ten posters and 42 oral presentations covering topics such as ocean acidification, nutritional effects of harmful algal blooms, Vibrio pathogen management, probiotic use in hatcheries, kelp farming, impacts from exotic shellfish species, and methods to improve hatchery production.
