This seminar has the collaboration with the General Consulate of Indonesian Republic (KJRI) in Osaka, Jepang, Faculty of Marine and Fisheries, Udayana University (Bali) and Kochi University (Jepang).
The purpose of this seminar is as a means of sharing the results of research and experience between aquaculture experts from Indonesia and Japan to improve the knowledge and understanding the overcome various obstacles and increase production in the aquaculture field, but still pay attention to the principles of sustainable aquaculture or sustainable farming. In addition, this seminar can be an initiation of cooperation in order to improve human resources and technology between stakeholders and academics / practitioners of Indonesia-Japan or among stakeholders in Indonesia.
