WAS-APC provided the opportunity for female aquaculture people and students to attend Asia Pacific Aquaculture 2016.  Funding for this opportunity was provided by WAS-APC, and Aquaculture without Frontiers facilitated the process.

WAS-APC and WAS Directors will lead the panel to discuss experiences relating to gender issues in the industry. With a nice mix of students and mature aged women we expect to hear some of the issues they have faced and how things could improve based on their experiences.
