The biannual Aquatic Asia Conference, organised in conjunction with VIV Asia, International Aquafeed and Progressus, proved to once again be a brilliant event for all who attended.
The conference took place on March 14th for one full day, and had a record number of 264 attendees, as well as international expert speakers from companies such as Phileo Lessafre, Aker BioMarine, Singao, Bühler, Tanin Sevnica and Nutriad becomes Adisseo, to name a few.
The theme for the 2019 conference was ‘Shrimp Farming and Farm Tech’ and companies from all walks of the earth were invited to speak about the intricacies of shrimp nutrition and the latest innovations in farming technology.
Keynote speaker and moderator for the event, Professor Simon Davies of Harper Adams University, stated that, “The shrimp farming sector warrants special considerations, given the expansion of the industry with expectations that aquaculture will need to produce over 65 percent of seafood production in the next two decades to meet global demand.
“It is imperative that the vigour of stock be improved to raise hatchery production, survival and growth performance. Shrimp production has been constrained in recent times by various pathogens such as white spot and EMS, causing serious economic losses. In this regard, nutrition and feed will play an ever-increasing role.”
