i) What is APROMAR-REMA?
\n<\/strong>REMA (Aquaculture Marine Experimentation Network ) is a network created by APROMAR <\/a>(Spanish Aquaculture Producers Association). APROMAR represents most aquaculture farmers in Spain. Its members produce finfish, shellfish, crustaceans and algae, as well as goods and services to the industry. It defends their common interests before any instance, advising, managing and reporting.
\nREMA has been built with the objective to contribute, from the private aquaculture sector, to the resolution of the R + D + i challenges of the sector itself. REMA aims to develop, promote and stimulate research, technological development and innovation in marine aquaculture, the dissemination of its results, as well as being a reference for information and documentation in R + D + i.
\nREMA has been conceive with the aim of building on sectoral research entities currently existing in Spain, such as the Galician Aquaculture Technology Center (CETGA) and the Technological Center for Aquaculture Foundation (CTAQUA), which will hold positions important in its management.<\/p>\n
