AdelAide Convention CentreAdelaide, South Australia For more information:www.was.orgCall for Papers & Registration BrochureConference SponsorsMajor Sponsor & HostWAS Premier SponsorsOrganisers2invitationaquaculture in south australiaAustralia is proud to be hosting World Aquaculture for the first time since 1999.This annual event will incorporate the biennial Australasian Aquaculture conference and trade show and will see several thousand attendees from around the world converge on the city of Adelaide and tour the central hub of Australian aquaculture in Port Lincoln.Contributions to the progress of developing new and existing ideas to stimulate this vital industry are welcome. With almost half of the world’s consumption of seafood coming from farms, aquaculture is playing an increasingly important role in meeting the challenge of global food security.World Aquaculture Adelaide 2014 (WAA14) will be an opportunity for the international aquaculture community - academics, industry researchers, market and industry analysts, government officials, policy makers and industry representatives to present their work and exchange ideas and develop a vision for the future of the aquaculture industry as we focus on the theme of ‘Create, Nurture, Grow.’ An event not to be missed – WAA14 will offer a chance to gauge the sector’s progress, whilst we discuss and debate the issues, ideas, mechanisms and hands-on practical approaches towards building a better industry. In addition there will be ample opportunity to network during both structured and free-flowing events.On behalf of the WAA14 Steering Committee, we look forward to seeing you in Adelaide. Graham MairGraham Mair Chair – World Aquaculture 2014The aquaculture industry has firmly established itself as a significant contributor to South Australia’s primary industries and regional communities.In 2010/11 the aquaculture industry became South Australia’s leading producer of seafood, contributing almost 54% of the State’s total value of seafood production.This figure – an increase of 5% compared to the previous year – equates to $229 million of the State’s total seafood production value of $426 million, with the remainder ($197 million) contributed by the State’s wild catch fisheries.Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) continues to be the largest single sector in the industry.The SBT sector accounted for almost 55% of the State’s gross value of aquaculture in 2010/11 production – a 22% increase on the previous year – with total production valued at $125 million.This is followed by the Oyster and Marine Finfish sectors, which account for 16% and 12% of total production value respectively.Overall, there has been positive growth across most sectors, with, the value of production increasing for SBT, Finfish, Oyster, Abalone, Marron and Yabbies, while the Mussel and Freshwater Finfish sectors recorded a slight decrease.The Eyre Peninsula, west of Adelaide, maintains its position as the centre for aquaculture in South Australia, employing 67% of the 1,113 full time equivalent positions directly employed by the sector.3South Australia is home to stunning beaches, award-winning wine and events and festivals. It is the wine and seafood capital of Australia, where the Murray River meets the sea and the gateway to Outback South Australia. The Barossa and McLaren Vale, both only a short drive from downtown Adelaide, are the main vineyard areas. The Flinders Ranges and Kangaroo Island are unique and spectacular. They are on the Australian National Landscapes register as places as of great cultural, natural and spiritual significance. World Heritage Listed caves are found at Naracoorte on the Limestone Coast.While in Adelaide, why not stop for some retail therapy in this cosmopolitan city, which is surrounded by parklands. Stroll along the North Terrace boulevard and visit the many art galleries and museums.
