The participants in the workshop discussed NT aquaculture priorities, challenges and future opportunities and how research, development and extension (RD&E) can meet these. They shared information on current NT aquaculture RD&E, and strengthened collaborations through networking.
The workshop included small group discussions about research scoping and how industry needs and current science fit together.
