World Aquaculture 2026 returns to Singapore following a successful 2022
Improving production in aquaculture will be a key theme for World Aquaculture 2026 (WA2026), the global conference taking place in Singapore from June 2 to 5, 2026.
Hosted by the World Aquaculture Society (WAS), at the Singapore EXPO Convention and Exhibition Centre, the theme of the event will be “High Yield Production Through Nutrition, Health, Genetics, and Resources”.
This, WAS says, emphasises the essential pillars driving productivity and sustainability in modern aquaculture, reflecting a science-based, integrated approach to industry growth.
WA2022, the first World Aquaculture conference ever held in Singapore, welcomed over 3,000 participants from around the world and featured 200 exhibition booths — highlighting Singapore’s role as a hub for innovation, sustainability, and international collaboration in aquaculture.
Following the remarkable success of WA2022, Singapore proved to be an exceptional host for a global aquaculture event, says WAS. With its world-class infrastructure, strategic location, strong government and industry support, and commitment to food security and innovation, Singapore offers an ideal environment for meaningful global exchange. Singapore also offers participants excellent tourism opportunities.
A gateway to Asia and beyond, Singapore is a cosmopolitan city and a melting pot of different cultures. The return of WA2026 reflects both the outstanding experience of past participants and the growing importance of Southeast Asia in shaping the future of sustainable aquaculture.
Building on that momentum, WA2026 will once again bring together global leaders, researchers, government officials, industry professionals, students, and policymakers to explore the latest advancements and opportunities in sustainable aquaculture.
Highlights will include:
- Scientific sessions and technical presentations, featuring 102 sessions covering key topics across the aquaculture sector;
- A comprehensive international and national trade exhibition;
- Networking and B2B engagement opportunities;
- Student-focused programs promoting international knowledge exchange in aquaculture;
- Innovation and sustainability showcase highlighting the future of aquaculture.
WA2026 is organized by the World Aquaculture Society (WAS) with WAS-APC and hosted by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), in partnership with Singapore Tourism Board (STB), national and international institutions including Temasek Polytechnic, National University of Singapore, James Cook University, AquaPolis, Singapore Institute of Technology, and Nanyang Technological University.
Special registration rates will be available for WAS members, WAS-affiliated associations, students, participants from the Asia-Pacific region, and those who register early — offering discounted fees to encourage broader and timely participation in the event.
Further details regarding registration, abstract submission (opening soon), sponsorship, and exhibition opportunities will be available via the official conference website.
