APA Expo 2015 has drawn wide professional media attention. We have cooperated with 32 international and domestic medias, 6 of which have provided constant coverage of the event.

APA Expo 2015 has made a new platform for Aquaculture Industry of China, the Asia-Pacific District and even the Global. It’s globally recognized that aquaculture has become a more and more important source of aquatic protein. Asia-Pacific region is the center of aquatic industry in the world, producing up to 85% of global aquaculture products. China’s production takes up 61% of the world output in 2014, and China has become both the fastest growing aquatic products consumption market and the center of aquaculture industry.

China is not only the most important export country of Aquatic products but also the largest import one. In 2011, China has been following the United States and Japan to become the third largest importer of Aquatic products. And the total production of aquatic products in the world is 70.55 million tons and algae products are 26.10 million tons in 2014. Hereinto, China respectively produced aquatic products 43.5 million tons accounting for 61.6% of the total, and algae products 13.5 million tons accounting for 51.7% of the total in 2014.

China is a market nobody can afford to ignore. And Chinese aquaculture Industry is improving from paying attention to production scale to focusing on aquaculture quality and environment friendliness, and transforming from traditional aquaculture mode to the modern pattern.

Asia pacific Aquaculture Expo 2016 will be held from May 26 to 28, 2016 in Xiamen City of Fujian Province. We believe the APA Expo 2016 will be wonderful and look forward to your attendance or visit!
