New technical director at IFFO as Andy Jackson bows out

IFFO, the trade association for the global marine ingredients industry, saw the retirement of technical director, Dr Andy Jackson, at the end of 2015 after ten years at the organisation.

Dr Neil Auchterlonie (on the left of picture with Andrew Mallison, IFFO director general on the right) took over the role last month. He comes laden with qualifications in marine biology, applied fish biology and aquaculture, and has spent time working in technical and production positions in aquaculture companies and government department and research agencies, said the trade group.

The IFFO also reported he has managed aquaculture and fisheries science programs in both the public and private sector, specializing in commissioning, managing and reporting on science that addresses policy questions for both government and industry.
