TILAPIA 2015 is the fourth in a series of successful international technical and trade conferences organized by INFOFISH during April 2-4 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Internationally renowned speakers will address the tilapia industry outlook, production and processing, markets and marketing and technological developments. Some 300 delegates from industry, government and academia, as well as potential investors and marketers, will attend. The accompanying trade show will feature seafood buyers and sellers, farmers, processors and exporters, as well as suppliers of fishing and aquaculture equipment and services.

Nutriad is a bronze sponsor for this event and supports the research of Dr. Yu-Hung Lin from the Department of Aquaculture, National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, Taiwan. This research will form part of his presentation “Innovative strategies on sparing dietary protein for Tilapia.”  Says Allan Wu, Nutriad Aquaculture Manager Asia: “We are proud to be able to work together with Dr. Lin. His research demonstrated that AQUAGEST OMF, a digestive enhancer developed by Nutriad specifically for omnivorous fish, is effective in enhancing digestive/metabolic efficiency and improves the protein efficiency in Tilapia. It allows producers to formulate with lower protein levels in the feed without affecting growth or filleting yield.”
