Aquaculture

As the global demand for protein continues to rise, aquaculture has emerged as one of the most promising solutions to sustainably feed a growing population. With wild fish stocks under increasing pressure, aquaculture now supplies over half of the seafood consumed worldwide—and its role is only set to expand. This theme will explore aquaculture as a dynamic, science-driven sector at the intersection of food security, environmental stewardship, and economic development. From land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) to open-ocean cages and integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA), the sector is rapidly evolving with innovations in health management, nutrition, genetics, and digital technology.

Sessions under this theme will address the challenges and opportunities in scaling sustainable aquaculture. Key focus areas include disease prevention and biosecurity, smart aquaculture technologies (e.g., AI and sensors), sustainable feed development, and climate resilience. Discussions will also cover the importance of certification standards, consumer trust, and responsible investment in driving the industry forward. Special attention will be given to species-specific strategies—including finfish, shrimp, bivalves, and emerging candidates such as sea cucumbers and algae—and their role in regional development, especially in Asia, which leads global production. Case studies will highlight successful public-private partnerships, policy frameworks, and R&D collaborations that are unlocking new potential across the value chain.

The conference will serve as a platform for producers, researchers, policymakers, technology providers, and investors to exchange knowledge, share innovations, and foster collaborations that push the boundaries of what aquaculture can achieve. Whether addressing sustainable intensification, ecosystem integration, or equitable livelihoods, this theme underscores aquaculture's essential contribution to resilient and future-ready food systems. As Singapore positions itself as a hub for blue economy innovation, this theme will also explore regional leadership in shaping a responsible and technologically advanced aquaculture industry—one that nourishes people, protects the planet, and supports thriving coastal and rural communities.
