Aquatic Conferences

You will be aware of the Asian Fisheries Society’s initiative, “AsiaPacific-FishWatch”. This online portal will give access to consumers, the general public, fish exporters and importers, fisheries managers and scientists to information on fish produced in the region and eaten locally or sold on major world markets. As part of this initiative, drafts of the biology, fisheries, processing and marketing of the four major tuna species (albacore, skipjack, yellowfin, bigeye) are being prepared by our consultant, Dr Patricia Kailola. Dr Kailola has completed a draft of one of them, albacore (Thunnus alalunga) and it is ready for review.An early draft presentation of one species (skipjack) can be viewed to give an idea of the final layout at: http://sites.google.com/site/fishwatchasiapacific/pilot-species/skipjack-tuna

I invite you to give your support to this project, and assure you that every contribution will be fully acknowledged. Please confirm your support to me ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
