We’re excited to be back at Aquaculture America 2026! The CAT team will be sharing practical insights on genetics, breeding strategies, and our Next-Gen Breeding™ approach to building resilient aquaculture systems.
Join us for our talks or stop by Booth 426 to learn how we help producers launch new breeding programs or strengthen existing ones, targeting the traits that deliver the greatest commercial impact. Learn about CAT’s existing technologies and future plans to help producers dramatically enhance commercial output.
This year’s Aquaculture America returns to Las Vegas. Organized annually by the U.S. Aquaculture Society in partnership with the National Aquaculture Association and the Aquaculture Suppliers Association, this event brings together the leading minds in aquaculture, and we can’t wait to be a part of it.
