Aquaculture Africa 2024 given a boost as Tunisia government signs the hosting agreement

Preparations for the upcoming 3rd Annual International Conference and Exposition of the African Chapter of the World Aquaculture Society (AFRAQ2024), 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. This special gesture means the Government of Tunisia and its associated institutions are fully committed to collaborate with WAS in ensuring smooth organisation of the event.

In addition to government support, key locally based aquaculture companies in Tunisia have expressed their support to the event by offering AFRAQ24 guests an opportunity to tour their offshore seabream and seabass facilities in the Mediterranean. These companies are directly linked to AFRAQ24’s Gold Sponsor, Nutrifish, that specialises in the processing and distribution of commercial aquafeeds. Nutrifish has a state-of-the-art aquafeeds mills with capacity of up to 30,000 tonnes per year. These and several other companies are expected to feature at an organised pavilion within AFRAQ24 Exhibition.

The conference, which is themed “Blue Farming: New Horizons for Economic Growth”, is expected to attract over a thousand attendees from Africa and across the globe. It 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 of 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 on https://www.was.org/Meeting/code/AFRAQ24.  For all enquiries on AFRAQ24 contact worldaqua@was.org or africanchapter@was.org.

With its diversity of species and production technologies, its diversity of market propositions and with its reverence for the environment and the way in which this is changing, Aquaculture is established as an essential sector in global food supply. There is therefore no doubt that aquaculture is and needs to be for everyone.

This all-inclusive concept is feasible and compatible with the environmental integrity of our coastal areas, with the regeneration and sustainability of our primary sectors, with the economic well-being for important food value chains, with the professional and entrepreneurial formation of local human capital and with the long-life learning needs of our public administrations.

Developing social license and promoting not only the production and commercialization of high quality and health aquatic feeds, but also the ecosystem services that aquaculture provides, are key features of AE2025 - giving value to each and every person in Spain and throughout Europe.

The AE2025 parallel sessions will cover the full scope of European aquaculture scientific disciplines and species and will comprise submitted oral and poster presentations. AE2025 will also feature an international trade exhibition, industry forum, student sessions and activities, satellite workshops and updates on EU research.
