In conjunction with the Institute of Aquaculture’s annual PhD conference, academics and PhD students of the Institute invited students from Stirling and Clackmannanshire high schools to visit the University of Stirling and learn about the research done by the IoA’s PhD students. The visiting students came from Dunblane High School, Queen Victoria School (Dunblane), McLaren High School (Callendar) and Dollar Academy.

The day started with a welcome by the director of the IoA, Prof Simon Mackenzie, and Hamish McDonald, director of Salmon Scotland. This was followed by presentations by the PhD students and a scavenger hunt activity.
