Aquaculture 2025
Every three years, the Triennial is held somewhere in the United States. In 2025, the Triennial returns to sunny New Orleans – one of America’s favorite cities.
THE TRIENNIAL IS THE LARGEST AQUACULTURE MEETING IN THE WORLD!
The Triennial is the largest aquaculture conference and tradeshow held in the world with nearly 4,000 attendees from over 90 countries and even more countries are expected to have attendees at AQUACULTURE 2025. The Triennial combines the annual meetings of the National Shellfisheries Association, Fish Culture Section of the American Fisheries Society, World Aquaculture Society, and the National Aquaculture Association.
