11th Symposium on Diseases in Asian Aquaculture (DAA11)

Land of Adventure: Exploring Aquatic Animal Health for Sustainable Aquaculture
29 September - 2 October 2020 at Borneo Conventional Centre Kuching (BCCK), Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

The 11th symposium on Diseases in Asian Aquaculture (DAA11) marks the 30 years of Fish Health Section- Asian Fisheries Society (FHS-AFS) establishment, and it will be celebrated in Malaysia. Local hosts, the Department of Fisheries Malaysia (DOF) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry together with the Ministry of Modernisation of Agriculture, Native Land and Regional Development Sarawak (MANRED), will be organizing the event in cooperation with the FHS-AFS.

With the theme "Land of Adventure: Exploring Aquatic Animal Health for Sustainable Aquaculture", a comprehensive and ambitious scientific programme has been prepared which will include presentations by a range of knowledgeable aquatic animal health experts from around the region. Ample time is schedule for networking, field trips, and social functions during the Symposium. Trade displays will be exhibited throughout the Symposium. DAA11 will introduce a 3-Minute Pitch (3MP) for each session which is an extended form of an elevator pitch that was introduced in DAA10 (2017). 3MP is a great exercise for all speakers to construct research findings and pertinent information into a 3 minute speech. It will expose researchers to initiate their ideas and share research discoveries in brief, simple and clear manner to wider audience.

The Organizing Committee is now calling for online abstract submission. For more information about the symposium and online registration, please visit DAA11 website at http://www.daa11.org starting from 13 January 2020.
