The 15th edition of The Aquaculture Roundtable Series (TARS 2026), which brings together industry professionals to discuss how feed innovation can support a rapidly changing aquaculture sector throughout Asia, will put the aquafeed industry front and center in August.
The subject of TARS 2026, which will take place at The Westin Resort Nusa Dua in Bali, Indonesia, from August 19–20, 2026, is “AQUAFEEDS: Fit for Future 2.0,” emphasising the strategic importance of aquafeeds in satisfying the sustainable, economical, and nutritional needs of contemporary aquaculture.
Zuridah Merican, Editor of Aqua Culture Asia Pacific and Chair of TARS 2026, claims that despite a number of urgent obstacles, the aquafeed sector continues to be a vital force behind the expansion of Asian aquaculture.
“Future success in aquaculture relies on delivering precise nutrition to each species at optimal feed cost using available ingredients,” she said. “TARS 2026 will address issues ranging from ingredient availability and price volatility to feed performance, digestibility and sustainability.”
Functional feeds, alternative ingredients, and precision nutrition will all receive special attention at the conference. Experts in the field will investigate how feeds might be designed to enhance gut health, immunity, disease resistance, and stress tolerance while still being profitable. The increasing significance of life cycle assessments (LCAs), carbon footprint measurement, and traceability across the feed value chain will also be discussed.
50 international speakers and business executives will participate in technical presentations and panel discussions at TARS 2026 on important subjects like feed commodities, nutrient digestibility, alternative ingredients, smart feeding systems, functional feeds, sustainability, feed technologies, and next-generation aquafeed innovations.
TARS will continue to use its inclusive approach, which is intended to promote candid communication among all stakeholders, in order to uphold its longstanding reputation for industry participation. Interactive roundtable meetings, follow-up talks, a “Hard Talk” session with C-suite executives, and interactions between feed makers and next-generation farmers are all part of the program.
A wide range of aquaculture value chain participants, including CEOs, feedmillers, farmers, processors, nutritionists, suppliers, researchers, government officials, and non-governmental organisations, are anticipated to attend TARS 2026. The event continues to be one of Asia’s top venues for networking, information sharing, and strategic discussion on aquaculture’s future, according to the organisers.
A maximum of 250 delegates may register for TARS 2026. For businesses looking to interact directly with important decision-makers and stakeholders from around the Asia-Pacific aquaculture sector, the event also provides sponsorship options.
TARS 2026 seeks to offer the knowledge and collaborations required to guarantee aquafeeds continue to be suitable for the future of Asian aquaculture as the industry is under growing pressure to increase efficiency, sustainability, and resilience.
