Educational Visit to Sturgeon Aquaculture Facilities in Greece
Undergraduate students from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki visited Oxyrynghos Hellas S.A. to explore sturgeon production, sustainable aquaculture practices, and modern fish farming technology.
About the Educational Visit
Undergraduate students from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki participated in an educational field trip to Oxyrynghos Hellas S.A. in Kefalari, Drama, as part of the course Aquaculture & Fish Breeding.
The visit provided students with a valuable hands-on learning experience in sustainable aquaculture, natural spring-water systems, biosecurity, and modern fish farming technology.
From hatchery to caviar production
Students explored the sturgeon production cycle, including hatchery and larval rearing, grow-out raceways, ultrasound sexing, maturation, and caviar production.
The visit strengthened students’ understanding of how applied aquaculture practices can support both production and conservation knowledge for valuable and endangered sturgeon species.
