As part of the MARINET project, the Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management participated in the 17th international fishing fair Crofish, held on 22 and 23 November in Poreč. The event was attended by Prof. Greta Krešić, PhD, Elena Dujmić, Jelena Kapeš and Mia Sokolović.
During the first day of the fair, the Good Aquafood marketing campaign was presented, aimed at raising awareness of the nutritional value, safety and quality of aquaculture products. The activity included a knowledge quiz on aquaculture, and the most successful participants received prizes.
On the second day, a free guided oyster tasting was held, led by Prof. Nada Vahčić, PhD, Professor Emerita at the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, University of Zagreb. Visitors had the opportunity to taste oysters and learn about key sensory characteristics that determine their quality, including texture, smell, flavour and visual attributes.
These activities contribute to the key objectives of the MARINET project, which strengthens cooperation between Croatia and Italy in the development of sustainable mariculture and supports better consumer awareness and trust in aquaculture products.
