11th Global Summit on Aquaculture & Fisheries
May 24 – 25, 2018
Osaka, Japan
The 11th Global Summit on Aquaculture & Fisheries is scheduled to be held on May 24-25 at Osaka, Japan. The Summit will be featuring prompt keynote, oral and poster presentations and exhibitions.
The theme of the conference is "Innovative and Sustainable Aquaculture", and the venue is the Hyatt Regency.
Aquaculture Summit 2018 attempts to unite a distinctive and world-class blend of researchers, scientists, analysts and leaders both from the scholarly community and industry to trade their insight, experience and research advancements on aquaculture and its associated domain of fsheries.
Aquaculture is probably the fastest growing food-producing sector in the world at present. Farming of aquatic organisms including fish, molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants under controlled conditions defines aquaculture. Aquaculture and fisheries has gained momentum all over the world as a viable method to produce seafood over the last decade. According to some experts, increasing demand for fresh fish has put a strain on natural populations.
This event is an opportunity to:
• Facilitates effective gathering and discourse among those included in innovative activities in fisheries and aquaculture nationally and internationally as well
• Maximize the interchange of insight, experience and research advancements on the concerned topics, which will result in maximum utilisation, cultivation, conservation and development of aquatic resources.
• Engage young researchers and scientists to conduct improved studies and researches, which will open up new avenues for a better world.
• Extend cooperation between concerned governmental and non-governmental institutions.
• Generate public awareness by discussing various advancements and challenges of the aquaculture and fisheries sector and also promote innovative products and services via exhibition
Saltwater fish cultivating started in Japan in 1927, in the quiet waters of the Seto Inland Sea. Full-scale fish cultivating of marine species started in the mid-1950s, utilising nets to make counterfeit "swimming pools for fish" in the sea. It was around then that aquaculture procedures became adequately modern to rear fish in pen.
Commercial aquaculture production in Japan has grown significantly since the end of the 2ndWorld War and today possesses a critical position in the fisheries sector. Yellowtail and sea bream—two favorites in Japan—are the most important fish farm products. Today, the main challenge producers are encountering is maintaining water quality in marine pens.
Aquaculture Summit 2018 aims to educate consumers about the future prospects of aquaculture and fishing and risk management, provide solutions to the challenges by discussing innovative approaches, experiences, research outcomes, services and products related to the concerned issues.
