Leading experts from the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO) participated in the seminar: Anton Polin, Candidate of Biological Sciences (Aquaculture Center of the Southern Branch), Svetlana Lyashenko, Candidate of Biological Sciences (Laboratory of the Pacific Branch) and Anatoly Lyutikov, Candidate of Biological Sciences (Saint Petersburg‑St. Petersburg branch).
The two-week program turned out to be intense: participants listened to reports from Chinese experts on the state and prospects of mariculture in the country, studied key aquaculture facilities, their cultivation technologies and scientific support methods. A special place was taken by practical classes at the institute and work trips: the delegation visited a Marine biological station, an algae processing plant and the office of a manufacturer of equipment for mariculture farms. A striking addition to the program was the International Symposium on Sustainable Fisheries, Aquaculture and Blue Transformation, as well as the China Fisheries & Seafood Expo.
The seminar was held in a businesslike and at the same time warm atmosphere. For Russian specialists, it has become a valuable source of new knowledge, has allowed them to strengthen professional ties with colleagues from China and other countries, as well as to identify promising vectors of international scientific cooperation.
