Nordic Aquarium Conference 2026

What a pleasure it was to attend this year’s Nordic Aquarium Conference in Göteborg, Sweden, hosted at the splendid Maritime Museum and Aquarium, Sjöfartsmuseet Akvariet.

Many thanks to our good friends David and Jens for the warm welcome and flawless organization. It was also fantastic to reconnect with so many colleagues, partners, suppliers and fellow fishy aficionados from the Nordic regions.

During the conference we had the opportunity to share some of Flying Sharks’ latest adventures, namely our recent operations in Chile and Saudi Arabia, both of which concluded in truly spectacular fashion — exactly the kind of madness we seem unable to avoid these days!

Naturally, a few exciting future projects also found their way into the conversations, including the fascinating Hemari project involving porbeagle sharks in the Faroe Islands. Yes, ‘porbeagle’, Lamna nasus, you read that right.

Something tells us this one is going to generate a few cool stories for future newsletters…

We’re already looking forward to returning to this exciting young conference in the years ahead and catching up once again with all the wonderful people who make this industry such a unique and passionate community.

Stay tuned, because this very cool adventure is only just beginning!
