Welcome to the 9^th Regional Aquafeed Forum – RAF9-2017
 
The Regional Aquafeed Forum (RAF) is an annual meeting in fish nutrition held in the South East Asia region. Founded by ACIAR project FIS/2006/141, this forum has grown over the years to become one of the most important events in aquafeed industry. The 9^th Regional Aquafeed Forum (RAF9) provides attendees with the main topics focused on “Aquaculture nutrition, Feed ingredients, and Better Feeding Management in Aquaculture”.
 
With the mission of promoting collaborative research and exchange among researchers, aquafeed industry and aquaculture producers in the region, the Research Institute for Aquaculture No2 (RIA2) is proud to be the host of the 9^th Regional Aquafeed Forum (RAF9 2017). This annual event will receive around 100 – 150 participants from all countries in the region and will present the latest achievements and information by the professionals and leading experts in the aquafeed nutrition field.
RAF9 will provide a platform for the aquaculture nutritionists, feed mill managers, and feed ingredient suppliers to present their research and innovative technologies that will play a critical role in meeting the challenge of supplying high-quality feed to the growing aquaculture sector. RAF9 2017 will be a not-to-be-missed opportunity to discuss and to debate the issues faced by the aquaculture nutrition and aquafeed sectors, and to develop innovative ways to overcome the current constraints.
On behalf of the organizers, we warmly welcome the participation and significant contribution of scientists, technicians, businessmen, farmers and managers from the ASEAN countries to the Forum. We sincerely appreciate the significant funding support from the donors.
