Farm visits on offer for African aquaculture conference visitors
Seabream and seabass producers in Tunisia are offering marine farm tours as one of the attractions of the 3rd Annual International Conference and Exposition of the African Chapter of the World Aquaculture Society (AFRAQ2024), which takes place in Hammamet from November 19-22.
The companies are directly linked to AFRAQ24’s Gold Sponsor, Nutrifish, that specialises in the processing and distribution of commercial aquafeeds.
More than a thousand attendees from Africa and across the globe are expected at AFRAQ2024, and preparations for the event were given a boost last week following signature of the hosting agreement by the National Institute of Marine Sciences and Technologies (INSTM), on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources and Fisheries, Tunisia. The agreement means the Government of Tunisia and its associated institutions are fully committed to collaborate with the World Aquaculture Society (WAS) in ensuring smooth organisation of the event.
Economic growth
The conference, which is themed “Blue Farming: New Horizons for Economic Growth”, will highlight some of the latest aquaculture research, innovations and investments to underpin continued growth of the aquaculture sector in Africa. The event will comprise a scientific forum (oral and poster presentations), trade exhibition, industry forums, satellite workshops, student events, aquaculture and farm tours, and other features.
Registrations and submission of abstracts are still open. All conference details will be updated on the event page.
This Thursday, August 8, organisers of AFRAQ24 will host an interactive virtual zoom session to promote the event. The session will connect with global aquaculture audiences and present the conference’s programmes, features, and other logistics. Registration for the virtual session can be made here.
