World Aquaculture 2025 India (WA2025) will take place at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre – Novotel, from November 10-13, 2025. This marks the return of the event to India, following the success of Asian Pacific Aquaculture 2019 (APA19) in Chennai.
The WA2025 event is organized by the World Aquaculture Society together with local organizations and the government.
As aquaculture continues its rapid growth across the Asian-Pacific region, particularly in India, the 2025 event provides the perfect opportunity to focus on India’s growing influence within the global aquaculture community. Hyderabad, a key hub in India’s maritime development, plays a central role with its advanced marine economy, strong marine industry, and foundational expertise in marine fisheries, equipment manufacturing, and transportation.
The three-day conference will offer a platform for industry professionals, researchers, and entrepreneurs to engage in diverse aquaculture topics through specialized sessions. By registering for the event, attendees will gain access to a comprehensive program that explores cutting-edge trends, challenges, and solutions within the aquaculture industry.
With the theme Aquaculture: Opportunities, Options, and Optimism, the conference aims to inspire innovation and foster collaboration across the aquaculture sector. This event will also encourage sustainable practices, focusing on how the industry can scale while maintaining profitability and environmental responsibility.
Parallel to the conference, a three-day exhibition will feature booths from international and Indian companies showcasing the latest products, services, instruments, and equipment essential for efficient aquaculture management. This exhibition will be an ideal space to connect with potential partners, explore new technologies, and discuss solutions to drive sustainability in the aquaculture industry. Booths can be booked now.
WA 2025 India also welcomes societies or associations to organize its Annual General assembly, meeting, workshop or seminar.
To present aquaculture research, projects, or innovative ideas, abstract submission is open until August 31, 2025.
