The twenty-first edition of the India International Seafood Show will be held in Goa in February 2018, according to Marine Products Export Development Authority Chairman A. Jayathilak.
He made the announcement here on Sunday evening at the conclusion of the twentieth edition of the IISS here. "The biennial event held here for the second time was a big success. Earlier, it was held here in 2001. It has given a great opportunity for Andhra Pradesh to showcase its potential in the aqua sector. It has given the local trade and seafood industry representatives to interact with the representatives of the companies from abroad and explore business opportunities. Further, they have also learnt about the best practices," he said.
Seafood Exporters' Association of India (SEAI) president V. Padmanabham said the event here was a huge success. He said vannamei, the shrimp variety cultured by aquaculture farms mainly in Andhra Pradesh, "is the future of Indian seafood exports and called for improvement in facilities like brooder multiplication and seed production."
He said the industry was making serious efforts to popularise the globally accepted aquaculture practices to get better results. "vannamei is an exotic species and its demand is growing in the global market due to low price, nutritional properties and taste," he said.
