After the first successful meeting in 2007, Asian-Pacific Aquaculture 2013 will be the next chance for the international aquaculture community to visit Vietnam and see the rapidly expanding aquaculture industry in Vietnam – nearly 50% increase in the last 5 years in hectares in aquaculture production and over 100% per year increase in tons produced every year for the last 16 years! Attendees will be able to see what is happening in Vietnamese aquaculture to create this growth as well as aquaculture developments in the rest of Southeast Asia.
