MESSAGE FROM EDITOR

The pandemic Covid-19 has been playing havoc with peoples’ lives and livelihoods in general and fisheries sector is no different. We were hoping that we will be able to conquer the Covid-19 and come back to our normal lives, which does not appear to be in no way nearer.

Because of Covid-19, many activities have to be either cancelled, rescheduled or organised virtually. The same is case with some of the AFS activities - 13th Asian Fisheries and Aquaculture Forum (13AFAF), 11th Forum on Diseases in Asian Aquaculture (DAA11), the 8th Global Conference on Gender in Aquaculture (GAF8) and International Symposium on Aquaculture and Fisheries Education (ISAFE4) which were to be organised during 2021, but now have been rescheduled to 2022. Details are in this newsletter.

Kudos to GAF section of AFS which has carried a number of activities in spite of the pandemic. Another milestone is the reactivating Asian Fisheries Social Sciences Research Network (AFSSRN) which was dormant for some time and held its first Forum AFSSRN F1 in virtual mode during the year. All the details are in this newsletter. Thanks and congratulations to all involved in reactivating the important network – AFSSRN.

Stay safe, stay healthy and hope for better 2022.
