Featuring Cultimar Technologies Co-Founder Charles McGuigan; San Isidro Seafood President Philip Walsh; University of Miami Professor and Director of Aquaculture Daniel Benetti; Hilo Fish Company Sustainability Officer Slater Daniels; and Bristol Seafood Business Development Manager Heather Moretti, the panel was held on Monday, 11 March, with the following description:
As farmed seafood continues to displace wild-caught seafood, the trifecta of increased energy expense, novel supply chain challenges, and aggressive point-of-sale pricing has had a dramatic negative impact on sales in both foodservice and retail. The good news? Innovative marketing, artificial intelligence, digital technologies, and robotics are so rapidly changing the focus of commercial fishing from maximizing volume to maximizing value that the line between wild and farmed seafood has grown blurred.
Positive change lies ahead; join Dr. Benetti and two of his students with masters degrees in aquaculture as they describe the current state of world aquaculture and how best to position your business for the startling changes that lies ahead.
