WORLD AQUACULTURE 2025 Safari - Entebbe, Uganda June 24-27, 2025

WORLD AQUACULTURE SAFARI 2025: Biggest Aquaculture Meeting in Africa will be held at Speke Resort Munyonyo, Entebbe, Uganda with involvement from countries throughout Africa and the world.

East Africa is the fastest growth node for aquaculture on the African continent. This is predominantly as a result of the farming of tilapia, but several other species contribute to the sector. East Africa is also a world leading region in the farming of seaweed, with exciting developments around several other marine species such as sea cucumber and more. The EU-funded TRUEFISH Project, which seeks the advancement of aquaculture in the Lake Victoria Basin is a major sponsor of the meeting.
