The Australian Prawn Farmers Association is the leading industry organisation for prawn and shrimp farming in Australia, an industry with a value of circa $80 million. The industry focuses on providing high quality and high value product to the Australian retail sector and is supported by world leading researchers. The annual Symposium is the pre-eminent forum for Australian prawn farmers to gain new knowledge, network and meet with service providers, vendors and scientists.

The annual Ridley APFA Symposium is the showcase event of the year and the only time that farm owners, managers and staff are in the same place at the same time!

This year will be bigger than ever and held at one of Australia’s most awarded convention centres!

The 2019 theme is Growing Together – What part will you play? This theme will explore challenges, approaches, strategies and vision for Australian prawn farming and aquaculture. All aquaculture connections are encouraged to come and join in this great networking opportunity as well as have some fun and be exposed to innovative and thought provoking presenters both national and international. If you have a connection to aquaculture farming, marketing, feed production, research, retail, government agencies, consultants, logistics and suppliers - this is for you!
