The World Aquaculture Society was founded in 1969 in the USA and has grown to more than 3,000 members in about 100 countries representing the global aquaculture community.
WAS has created Chapters in the United States, Japan, Korea, Latin American and Caribbean region and the Asian-Pacific region.
The Asia Pacific Chapter (APC) is part of an international network of Professionals who contribute to the progressive and sustainable development of aquaculture throughout the world.
Four or more APC directors are elected for a two year term. Directors are asked to serve on one or more committees within the WAS - APC.
