World Aquaculture 2003 was one of the most highly attended WAS meetings ever. In 2011, WAS will once again hold World Aquaculture 2011 in Brazil. This time, it will be held in Natal, Brazil and located in the midst of many kinds of aquaculture. In 2003, aquaculture in Brazil was doing well, but now the aquaculture industry is doing even better. Aquaculture now has it's own Ministry in the Brazilian Federal Government - meaning there is a lot of government support for expansion of aquaculture in Brazil.
Natal will be the perfect place for the world aquaculture community to assemble to consider "Aquaculture for a Changing World". The program will explore the many aspects of this topic as well as addressing technical and practical changes in aquaculture.
BEYOND THE CONFERENCE
