Throughout October 2026, research teams from the AquaPolis Asian Seabass and Marine Tilapia Research Programmes convened a series of Topic Meetings to share research updates, review progress across their respective work streams and strengthen collaboration among participating researchers.
The Marine Tilapia research team convened their first Topic Meeting on 2 October, presenting updates on their ongoing activities and progress since the programme started in April 2026. The meeting provided an opportunity for the teams to exchange insights across key research areas, including genetic improvement, feed and nutrition optimisation strategies, and genomic traceability.
The Asian Seabass Research Programme held its second Topic Meeting across two sessions on 7 and 20 October 2026, bringing together researchers working across complementary research areas. The first session focused on Nutrition and Physiology, with teams sharing updates on research relating to fish skeletal development, larviculture nutrition, reproductive performance and fillet sensory quality. The second session focused on Health, covering ongoing research efforts to strengthen disease surveillance, evaluate immune enhancement feed additives, and enhance resilience against parasite through selective breeding.
These Topic Meetings serve as important platforms for researchers to exchange knowledge, align research activities and identify opportunities for collaboration. Through regular engagement across its research programmes, AquaPolis continues to foster an integrated research ecosystem focused on developing practical solutions for Singapore’s aquaculture industry.
