Eurofish organised an international conference at Swissôtel Tallinn in Tallinn, Estonia on the 17-18 June 2025 in cooperation with the Ministry of Regional Affairs and Agriculture of Estonia. The conference explored the utilisation of invasive and predator species for business opportunities and highlighted the threats some species pose to the environment and to the fisheries and aquaculture sector. The increasing populations of cormorants and seals have implications for fishers and fish farmers—yet may also offer opportunities for utilisation. Presentations covered species such as blue crabs, signal crayfish, round goby, Chinese carp, king crab, jellyfish, and the Black Sea snail Rapana venosa. Experts from numerous countries addressed the audience to inspire attendees with knowledge and solutions that can be implemented in their home countries.
