Giant Prawn 2025 Conference will take place from June 8-11, 2025, in Huzhou, Zhejiang province, China.
Giant Prawn Conferences are the premier global events dedicated to the farming of freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium spp. The giant prawn conferences were founded by Michael New, and the inaugural conference took place in Bangkok (GIANT PRAWN 1980). Subsequent conferences were held in Kochi, India (2003 and 2011), Bangkok, Thailand (2017 and 2023), and Shanghai, China (2019). Since 2017, the Aquaculture Program of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand, has led the organization of these conferences. Beginning in 2019, AIT has collaborated with Shanghai Ocean University (SHOU), China, to host the conference, and is supported by Michael New as its Patron.
GP 2025 is set to return to China, promising to showcase significant advancements in farming and conservation of freshwater prawns in the Macrobrachium genus. The event will highlight China's pivotal role in producing a substantial share of improved prawn broodstock. Although the conference title may suggest a focus on the Giant Malaysian prawn (M. rosenbergii), the event encompasses all Macrobrachium species currently under cultivation.
GIANT PRAWN 2025 is organized by AIT, Thailand, jointly with the Shanghai Ocean University, led by Krishna R Salin at the Aquaculture and Aquatic Resources Management (AARM) Program of AIT, Thailand, and Xuxiong Huang of SHOU, China. The event is co-organized with the Zhejiang Institute of Freshwater Fisheries (ZIFF), China, and Huzhou University (HU), China.
Deadline for submission of abstracts is April 30, 2025.
