The scope of the training included:
• Preparation of marine and freshwater fish for the purpose of verification of their potential irradiation,
• New technologies for fish preservation i.e. refrigeration (fluidization) and radiation techniques (low doses of ionizing radiation),
• Audits at freshwater fish farming stations,

During the event, the participants had the opportunity to establish professional contacts with researchers from Italy and Portugal. They also visited the rainbow trout farm in Treviso, which was combined with elements of conducting an audit at the freshwater fish breeding station.
