Malta, October 2022 – AquaBioTech Group, an independent aquaculture, fisheries and marine environmental consulting, testing, research and development company based in Malta, was proud to welcome Dr. Ian Borg, Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade, to its headquarters in Mosta today.

He was greeted by the Group’s Chief Executive Officer Shane A. Hunter and Business Development Director George D.
