International Aquafeed publisher is VIP at Chinese aquaculture conference

International Aquafeed publisher Roger Gilbert has been invited to participate in the official opening of the 9th Symposium of the World’s Chinese Scientists on Nutrition and Feeding of Finfish and Shellfish to be held in Xiamen City, Fuijian Province, China from November 12-16, 2013.

Event organiser Dr Ji-Dan Ye, the Secretary-General of Jimei University, in Xiamen, says Mr Gilbert has been invited as a visiting VIP due to his vision and background that he elaborated during his 22 years as secretary general with the International Feed Industry Federation, of which he was a founder. He says the experiences of IFIF globally may well serve as a model and should be shared with the conference delegates.

 
“It is to share his knowledge with our industry, how through aquaculture we might contribute to feeding a global population of nine billion people by 2050,” says Ji-Dan Ye.

 
Mr Gilbert is also acknowledged for his experience working with a number of international organisations and the industry in China wishes to discuss how greater involvement might be beneficial. “The success he brought to IFIF could be used as a model for developing the aquaculture industry in China and for others to follow,” he adds.

 
“As the representative of the aquaculture world’s nutritional magazine, International Aquafeed, we would like to share our knowledge and expertise in terms of nutrition and the aquaculture feeding industry, that includes fisheries, in China with him,” says Ji-Dan Ye.


Dr Dominique Bureau, Professor of University of Guelph, Canada and an editorial board member on International Aquafeed will also be addressing the conference. His topic is: Nutrition and environmentally sustainable farming.
