“To encourage the active participation of students in the affairs of the Association and recommend appropriate activities and pursue those approved by the board to promote the development of aquaculture education.” (Bylaws, Article 7.01(i))

Finally, during the conference, cash awards are provided for the best student oral and poster presentations.
As part of its mandate, the AAC is strongly committed to student development in sustainable aquaculture. Thanks are extended to those involved in the reviewing process, as well as all sponsors of the AAC Student Endowment Fund.
