Aquaculture America combines the U.S. Aquaculture Society, Chapter of WAS, National Aquaculture Association and the Aquaculture Suppliers Association as well as many other aquaculture groups. It will be held in Honolulu, Hawai’i from February 9 – 12.

Hawai'i has a proud history of aquaculture that began around 1200 A.D. when Hawaiians began building fishponds. Nowadays, it offers unique and invaluable assets to support a robust aquaculture industry. The advantage of its isolation and high degree of biosecurity are clearly shown by the thriving SPF shrimp industry. Six decades of research have provided ample demonstration of the biological feasibility of culturing dozens of warm- and cold-water species.

Aquaculture America 2020 will focus on the Asia-Pacific region, Canada, the USA, Latin America, Europe and the rest of the world. The latest products and services for the aquaculture industry will be exhibited and a complete conference program will assess the main challenges of aquaculture. Get a sneak peek of the presentation by keynote speaker Jim Wyban about SPF shrimp technology here.

Registration is still open here. Visit us at booth #154.
