          MESSAGE FROM EDITOR

          The pandemic in spite of various efforts, continue to ravage the world affecting the livelihoods and threatening food and nutritional security of people especially those living in developing countries. Fisheries sector which has been contributing substantially to food and nutritional security, has an important role to play in coming years in meeting the challenge. The region where we are – Asia contributes 70% of global fish production, two thirds of inland fish production and over 90% of aquaculture production. Researchers, entrepreneurs, development workers, fishing and farming communities and the policy makers needs to be congratulated for this contribution. However, we need to ensure all that we do is sustainable and environmental friendly and AFS and its members have a role to play.

          The pandemic has taught us many things – even though it was not possible to hold meetings, conferences, etc. physically, we can still continue conferences and meetings virtually or in a hybrid mode. This is what AFS and its sections have followed during the reporting period in organising 13 AFAF, GAF8, webinars by Fish Health Section, AFSSRN1, etc. details of which are in this issue.

          Congratulations to members of 13th AFS Council which has done a wonderful job and let us welcome the 14th Council under the Presidentship of Prof. Neil Loneragan and look forward to enhanced activities of the AFS. GAF under the leadership of outgoing Chair Dr Meryl J Williams has been very active as can be seen from details in this issue and laid a strong foundation. Let us welcome 2nd executive committee of GAFS under the chairmanship of Dr Nikita Gopal.

          Heartening to see AFSSRN which was dormant for many years is revitalised with organising of AFSSRN1 and many more in coming months.

          Finally, I would like to request members of AFS and the industry to contribute more to the newsletter with projects being undertaken, outcomes of their research, conferences/training programs organised/ scheduled, etc. which will benefit the readers of the newsletter.

          AFS is looking forward to an exciting period ahead with GAF8, DAA11 and ISAFE4 scheduled in the coming months.

          Stay safe, stay healthy.
