Moving aquaculture from an art to a science is the responsibility of all stakeholders and AQUA CULTURE Asia Pacific will be the platform for information exchange

Marine Shrimp The industry is facing its lowest farmgate prices in over two decades with supply higher than demand. Consumption will increase gradually but not enough to prop up prices. Costs are rising and hence margins will remain thin. The industry must invest in productivity, sustainability and marketing to give itself a competitive advantage. The Asian model requires transformation to fuel its next phase of growth. |

Marine Fish Asian aquaculture must build a third pillar, the marine fish sector, but it has to concentrate its resources on one species. The Asian seabass shows potential and we need to build its supply chain with support services from genetics, hatchery-nursery, feed and processing. To meet demand from retail markets, the production of larger sizes for processing is required. Disease is the main challenge. |
 |
|
Freshwater Fish The tilapia sector requires both small fish for the local markets and larger fish for export. Challenges vary with attention on post-harvest quality and value adding for the respective markets. The pangasius sector must relook at the supply chain to increase production efficiency and develop co-products to improve return on investment. Emerging producers will bring competition so marketing, branding and sustainability will provide a competitive advantage. |

Aquafeeds Although plant protein ingredient prices have eased, the lower demand for feed has emerged as the biggest challenge leading to increased competition among feed companies. Feed sustainability cost money and in the initial period may create an uneven playing field. However, the feed industry is not standing still as it pursues smart feeding, low protein feed with precision nutrition, R&D for marine fish species, alternative feed ingredients and functional feeds for disease mitigation. |
Our Mission is to catalyse Asia’s aquaculture industry
- We strive to be the beacon for the regional aquaculture industry.
- We will be the window to the world for aquaculture producers in Asia-Pacific, and the doorway to the market for international suppliers.
- We serve as the forum for the development of self-regulation in the industry
