2nd Global Summit on Aquaculture & Fisheries

July 11 – 13, 2016

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

 

The 2nd Global Summit on Aquaculture & Fisheries (Aquaculture Summit 2016) brings together an international mix of experts including aquaculture engineers, researchers and decision makers both from academia and the industry across the globe to exchange their knowledge, experiences and research innovations.

 

With the theme "Harvest Future Sustainable Aquaculture", the summit (which will be held at the Ramada Plaza in KL) will feature exhibition on new aqua feeds, among others.

 

Aquaculture is a major field in modern food supply. According to FAO, aquaculture is understood to mean the farming of aquatic organisms including fish, mollusks, crustaceans and aquatic plants. Farming implies some form of intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, such as regular stocking, feeding, and protection from predators. In the recently published global outlook report entitled Fish to 2030, the overwhelming majority of the projected increase in global fish production is expected to come from aquaculture as it has for the past several decades.

 

The summit is organized by OMICS International.

The Aquaculture Roundtable Series (TARS) 2016

August 17 – 18, 2016

Phuket, Thailand

 

TARS 2016 is a follow-up to the 2014 meeting that focused on the recovery, revival and renaissance of Asia's shrimp aquaculture, and the industry's struggles to contain disease outbreaks, mainly that of the early mortality syndrome (EMS) and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV).

 

It will be held in JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa on Aug. 17-18.

 

The theme for the sixth series this year is "Shrimp Aquaculture & the New Normal". Despite some progress, in terms of management and disease preventive measures, vulnerability to disease outbreaks continues to disrupt production. Asia's production of farmed shrimp, on the whole, declined to an estimated 2.2 million tonnes in 2015 compared with the pre-EMS production of 3.2 million tonnes in 2011. Currently, non-EMS affected countries like Indonesia, Philippines and India contribute to the global shortfall in supply.

 

TARS 2016 will provide a neutral platform for key industry stakeholders to convene and exchange insights and experiences as to how Asia can reconcile, as a unified group, to increase its sphere of control in disease prevention and management. The objective is to bring the industry to a New Normal to better manage and control the variables in shrimp farming; build on industrialisation; and develop technical, operational and production efficiency.

 

TARS has become the industry's foremost opinion-leading aquaculture event in Asia. Leading international experts will facilitate the plenary and interactive breakout sessions.

 

TARS 2016 will also be the place for networking and dialogue among Asia's key players in the shrimp aquaculture sector, including CEOs, geneticists, farm and hatchery managers, integrators, feed producers, technologists, investors, marketers, as well as governments, NGOs and academia.
