AQUA AQUARIA INDIA – 2015 The 3rd edition of ‘AQUA AQUARIA INDIA’, the biennial aquaculture – ornamental fish culture exhibition organized by “The Marine Products Export Development Authority” (MPEDA) is slated to be held from 20th to 22nd February 2015 in Andhra Loyola College Campus Vijayawada. It is befitting to organize the show in Andhra Pradesh considering its reputation as largest producer of shrimp by aquaculture. Besides, the region also produces large quantities of fish culture its fresh water resources, and is emerging as a potential area of development for ornamental fishes. The upcoming event is proposed to have 300 stalls to showcase various production and harvest technologies, machinery and accessories in export oriented aquaculture as well as ornamental fisheries sectors. 20,000 delegates from India and abroad are expected to participate in Aqua Aquaria India 2015. The early bird scheme for exhibitors for registering at concessional rates closes on 30th November 2014. Aquaculture farmers and ornamental fish breeders, feed manufacturers, hatchery owners, machinery suppliers, exporters/importers, officials from fisheries institutions and State/Central Government Departments, researchers, students and aquarium hobbyists in India/abroad are expected to participate in the fair as well as in the technical sessions as delegates/exhibitors. MPEDA solicit the co-operation and active participation of the stakeholders in aquaculture and ornamental fisheries sectors in this event thereby taking the industry into further strides.

RGCA the R & D arm of MPEDA established a state-of-the-art Central Aquaculture Pathology Laboratory at its Head quarters in Sirkali, TamilNadu in September 2011. The laboratory has been serving aquaculture industry of the country by providing timely and reliable diagnosis of various diseases encountered during the culture of finfish, shrimps & freshwater prawns. The laboratory is equipped with all the latest disease diagnostic tools and has three component units for Molecular Pathology, Histopathology and Microbiology which together helps in diagnosis of various diseases encountered by the aquaculture industry. The Molecular Pathology Laboratory has been routinely engaged in screening/diagnosis of 16 Crustacean (shrimp/crab) pathogens including OIE listed pathogens besides 3 finfish pathogens. In addition, the laboratory conducts periodical & need based aquaculture disease surveillance in India for the benefit of the seafood export industry. All the known diseases affecting the shrimp/prawn/ fish are diagnosed at this lab which includes the recently emerged dreaded shrimp disease viz. Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS)/ Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND). The laboratory has been successfully participating in Proficiency testing conducted by Aquaculture Pathology Laboratory, University of Arizona, USA (a World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reference laboratory for crustacean diseases). WITH THE ACCREDITATION OF NABL, THE AQUACULTURE PATHOLOGY LAB HAS BECOME THE ONLY NATIONALLY ACCREDITED LABORATORY FOR AQUACULTURE DISEASE DIAGNOSIS.
