The World Aquaculture conference, which is organised by the World Aquaculture Society (WAS), will be held from 29 May to 1 June 2023 in Darwin, Australia.
The annual event will see several thousandsof Africans and international attendees from around the world converge on the city of Darwin for the four-day event with contributions to developing new and existing ideas to stimulate the aquaculture sector
The program will be an opportunity for the international aquaculture community – academics, industry researchers, market and industry analysts, government officials, policy makers and industry representatives to present their work and exchange ideas and develop a vision for the future of the aquaculture industry as we focus on the theme of “Supporting Strength in Aquaculture”.
The conference will have an extensive technical programme to showcase the latest developments in the industry.
WA2023 will offer a chance to gauge the sector’s progress, whilst we discuss and debate the issues, ideas, mechanisms and hands-on practical approaches towards building a better industry. In addition there will be ample opportunity to network during both structured and free-flowing events
With almost half of the world’s consumption of seafood coming from farms, aquaculture is playing an increasingly important role in meeting the challenge of global food security.
