World Aquaculture 2023 to take place in May

The World Aquaculture in Darwin 2023 will be held on May 29th to June 1st, 2023, at Darwin Convention Centre, Northern Territory, Australia. This is going to be a four day event with conference and exhibitions. The conference will cover aquaculture topics  such as Aquaculture Engineering, Aquatic Biotechnology, Culture Systems, Environment, Feed Nutrition, Physiology, Freshwater Aquaculture, Genetic Improvement, Mariculture, Special Session and more. The exhibit hall will be packed with knowledgeable aquaculture representatives from the industry. There will be plenty of pre and post events including pre conference workshops and farm tours.  

On May 30th, 2023, the plenary session will start at 9:20 am, and the organisers are honoured to welcome Dan Richards and David Whyte as our plenary speakers.

The International Tropical Rock Oyster Workshop hosted by NT Fisheries and The Pacific Community (SPC), supported by the Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia (CRCNA) and the Crawford Fund will bring together a broad range of stakeholders to discuss the status and current knowledge of tropical oyster aquaculture research and  development. This will provide an opportunity to share experiences and develop an  international network for tropical oyster aquaculture development. There will be a two days’ workshop on Sunday 28th & Monday 29th May 2023. Seats are limited.
