History

The first Milford Aquaculture Seminar was held in 1975, when a small group of Milford Laboratory researchers and shellfish growers convened to discuss issues of concern to the aquaculture industry. Since then, the meeting has expanded to include the wider scientific and academic communities, industry, ecosystem managers, and the public. The seminar is typically held every January. Every other year, it is held in conjunction with the Northeast Aquaculture Conference & Expo. The next joint meeting will be held in January 2024.
