WELCOME TO HAKODATE

We are delighted to announce the highly anticipated International Fisheries Symposium 2024 (IFS2024), the annual conference of the ASEAN Fisheries Education Network (ASEAN-FEN), a leading gathering dedicated to promoting cooperation, knowledge sharing and innovation in the area of sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. The IFS has been held in ASEAN countries, but now, for the 12th time, it will be held in a non-ASEAN country, Japan, for the first time. Held in Hakodate, Japan, a city that attracts world travellers and is an international fisheries and ocean research city, the Symposium promises to be a landmark event that will bring together leading professors, experts, young researchers, policymakers and fisheries professionals from ASEAN countries and around the world.

FISH AS A GLOBAL FOOD RESOURCE

The theme of IFS2024 is ‘Fish as a Global Food Resource’. Fisheries will play an increasingly important role as a global food resource in the future, delivering quality food not only to urban areas but also to rural areas, leaving no one behind in a population that is expected to reach 10 billion people eventually. Recognising the critical importance of responsible and environmentally sound fisheries and aquaculture practices, we will explore cutting-edge research, advancements, and initiatives that contribute to the sustainable management of our oceans and aquatic resources. Through engaging discussions, presentations, and interactive sessions, we will collectively address the challenges and opportunities in maintaining healthy fish stocks, conserving biodiversity, and responsible aquaculture for promoting safe food production and sustainable livelihoods for coastal communities.
