MESSAGE FROM EDITOR

Wishing all readers a Very Happy and Productive 2018.

Two major events of the Society took place since the last newsletter – 11th Indian Fisheries and Aquaculture Forum (11ifaf ) in Kochi, India organised by the Indian Branch of AFS and 10th Symposium on Diseases in Asian Aquaculture in Bali, Indonesia organised by the Fish Health Section of AFS, both of which were well attended and successful. Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries (GAF) section of AFS launched its logo and website at the 11ifaf in Kochi, India besides organising the Symposium on Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries in India.

AsiaPacific-Fishwatch having made progress in updating information on tunas, is looking for experts to write profile of freshwater striped catfish (Pangasius hypothalamus). I am sure many of you will be interested to contribute to this profile. Details for interested persons are in the relevant section of this newsletter. The newsletter also gives details of upcoming conferences related to fisheries and aquaculture.
