Introduction:
Today Colombia has about 36,000 producers distributed throughout the national territory and it is estimated that in 31 of the 32 departments there are aquaculture production. This aquaculture production is one of the fundamental axes within the agricultural sector since it not only generates foreign currency for the country but also is considered a food safety activity for small producers located in the regions further away. On the other hand, there are departments and regions that have a greater development and have achieved the verticalization of the activity, with production plants certifi ed exports on stamps on international stamps of quality that have allowed the export of this product generating formal jobs and improving the quality of life of people linked to aquaculture.
The conference will be held in three languages for spoken and written materials. The conference will include all major aquatic species cultured in Panama and the other LACC countries with a special focus on tilapia, trout, shrimp and marine species.
