Welcome to the ASEM Aquaculture Platform

The ASEM Aquaculture Platform intends to work out an action-oriented agenda for co-operation and to develop a multi-stakeholder platform for dialogue, networking and continued coordination concerning sustainable aquaculture between EU and Asia.
Through its different stakeholders the platform aims to reconcile ecological and socio-economic demands and introduce or consolidate concepts of sustainability in aquaculture development in both regions. The platform connects experts, the public and policy-makers by disseminating knowledge up to policy levels as well as down to farmers or consumers.

The platform is supported by the FP7 programme of the European Commission and by the Flemish Research Council.

International Coordination Action on Aquaculture

Since its establishment in 2003, the ASEM Aquaculture Platform has received substantial funding from the Flemish Government. This may seem surprising, given the limited importance of the Belgian aquaculture industry but Belgium and Flanders have always played a leading role in aquaculture research and education and have occupied a pivotal role as coordinator or partner in international networks.
Since 2008 the Flemish Research Foundation supports the permanent secretariat of the ASEM Aquaculture Platform at Ghent University.
