Titles of Presentations |
| Dr. Claude E. Boyd | Experiences with investigations of water quality involvement in causes of shrimp mortalities over the past 30 years |
| Dr. Albert G.J. Tacon | Bio secure shrimp feeds and feeding practices |
| Dr. Kallaya Sritunyalucksana | Updated research on shrimp Early Mortality Syndrome, ATM and EHP |

The workshop is intended for practicing shrimp farmers, farm technicians, progressive entrepreneurs, students, researchers in R&D institutions, officers of departments of fisheries, and enterprising aquaculture students.
Shrimp farming industry is currently passing through a challenging phase, mostly because of disease conditions like the Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND), the Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS), and that caused by the microsporidian parasite Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP). These are widespread in Thailand and are feared to take new forms across diverse farming situations. Many shrimp farmers have no clue as to how this critical situation can be controlled. To manage this and the emerging challenges, farmers at the regional level need to be updated with the latest research, and also to acquire adequate expertise and practical skills to efficiently organise their resources for achieving improved production levels.
This workshop is organised jointly by the Asian Pacific Chapter of the World Aquaculture Society; AIT; Blue Aqua International Ltd. of Bangkok; and INVE Aquaculture (Thailand) Ltd.
