The World Aquaculture Society's Asia-Pacific Chapter (WAS-APC) is providing the opportunity for students to attend Asia Pacific Aquaculture 2016 (APA16) in Grand City, Surabaya, Indonesia from 26 to 29 April 2016. Funding for this opportunity is provided by WAS-APC, and Aquaculture without Frontiers is facilitating the process.
The theme for Asia Pacific Aquaculture in Surabaya is ‘Profitability, Sustainability, and Responsibility for the Future’.

Surabaya was once the largest city in the Dutch East Indies and virtually the centre of trading in the nation, exceeding that of Batavia and competing with the likes of Singapore and Hong Kong.
