The Aquaculture Roundtable Series (TARS) was developed to address these challenges by providing a platform for all stakeholders – public, private sector, academia, government and non-government organizations to share new knowledge, deliberate on critical issues, and identify a clear strategy to ensure a sustainable industry for the next generation. TARS is a stakeholder-driven effort to facilitate the sharing and exchange of information and experiences for a common objective, to equip the industry for its next phase of growth. It is designed as a series of roundtable sessions to focus on specific sectors of the industry.
