Who
should attend? The workshop is intended for practicing shrimp farmers,
farm technicians, progressive entrepreneurs,
students, researchers in R & D institutions, officers of the Department of
Fisheries, and enterprising aquaculture students from Thailand and overseas.
Shrimp
farming industry is currently passing through a challenging phase, mostly
because of disease conditions like the Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND), still popular Worldwide as EMS - the Early Mortality Syndrome, and that caused by the microsporidian parasite Enterocytozoon
hepatopenaei (EHP). These are widespread in Thailand and are feared to take new
forms across diverse farming situations. Many shrimp farmers have no clue as to
how this critical situation could be controlled. To manage these and the
emerging challenges, farmers at the regional level need to be updated with the
latest research, and also acquire adequate expertise and practical skills to
efficiently organize their resources for achieving improved production levels.
This
workshop on Smart shrimp farming is organized jointly by Asian
Pacific Chapter of the World Aquaculture Society ; Asian Institute of Technology
(AIT), Bangkok, Thailand; Blue Aqua International Ltd., Bangkok, Thailand and INVE
Aquaculture(Thailand) Ltd.
