Regional Workshop on Sustainable Marine Finfish Aquaculture for the Asia-Pacific
September 30-October 4, 2002, Halong City, Vietnam
A Regional Workshop on Sustainable Marine Finfish Aquaculture
for the Asia-Pacific is to be held in Halong City, Vietnam, from 30
September to 4 October 2002. The workshop is one in a series undertaken by
the Asia-Pacific Marine Finfish Aquaculture Network. Previous workshops have
concentrated on specific aspects of grouper and marine finfish aquaculture,
such as socio-economics, live reef food fisheries, etc. This workshop will
concentrate on recent improvements in production technology for marine
finfish aquaculture, and will incorporate the end-of-project workshop for
the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR)
project FIS/97/73

Asia-Pacific region. The overall objectives of
the 2002 workshop are to:
·
Outline the
status of marine finfish aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region.
·
Provide
detailed technical results of research projects on sustainable marine
finfish aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region, including ACIAR project FIS/97/73
Improved hatchery and grow-out technology for grouper aquaculture in the
Asia-Pacific region.
·
Provide a
forum for young researchers involved in the development of sustainable
marine finfish aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region to present their
results and interact with other researchers.
·
Review the
R&D needs for sustainable marine finfish aquaculture development in the
Asia-Pacific region.
·
Identify
potential collaborative projects to assist the development of sustainable
marine finfish aquaculture development in the region.
The workshop is open to all interested participants.
