The conference will feature three and a half days of oral and poster presentations on the economics of fisheries and aquaculture management and seafood trade from around the globe. Special sessions will be held on topics including dealing with risk and uncertainty; innovation, production and new markets in aquaculture; reframing fisheries governance to include poverty reduction; combating illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing; climate change in fishery governance; the “rent drain”; markets for eco-labeled seafood; building decision-making capability in international seafood marketing through case studies; and sustainable development of Western and Central Pacific fisheries. A day long general “Policy Forum” and a focused “Vietnam Policy Day” will build linkages among policymakers, industry, and academics.
