WorldFish experts on fisheries and aquaculture for development will present and contribute to discussions on sustainable aquaculture at SeaWeb’s 10th International Seafood Summit hosted in Hong Kong 6-8 September.
WorldFish director general, Dr Stephen Hall said that SeaWeb’s Seafood Summit provides a platform for global representatives from the seafood industry and conservation community to discuss the future of one of the world’s most dynamic food systems.
“We have a major challenge facing us to sustain wild fisheries and harness aquaculture's potential to meet the world's demand for fish. This Summit will help us meet that challenge," Dr Hall said.
The Summit is the world’s premier sustainable seafood event, and WorldFish scientists Dr Michael Phillips and Dr Malcolm Beveridge will share their research on how sustainable aquaculture can feed a growing global population.
"WorldFish is perhaps the only organisation that focuses solely on how fisheries and aquaculture can help reduce poverty and hunger. Given this, our researchers have quite a different and complementary perspective to offer, which I think helps enrich the discussions," Dr Hall said.
