Side Event: Wild-Caught Shrimp Summit
Wild-caught shrimp is today still a large source of protein. Every part of the world has its own target species fisheries; such as Argentinian red shrimp in Argentina, Seabob in Surinam, Northern Pink shrimp in Canada and Norway, and brown shrimp in the Netherlands. All these fisheries compete to some extent with the supply of farmed shrimp. The topic is therefore relevant for the Global Shrimp Forum audience, including retailers, importers, and suppliers of farmed shrimp. We believe that creating interaction between wild-caught and farmed shrimp industries will benefit mutual learning and cooperation. In the first part of this summit you will receive an update about MSC's activities in wild-caught shrimp and an update about the market situation of Argentine red shrimp, Northern Pink shrimp and other species. In the second part of the summit you will be presented with three company visions of stakeholders in the wild-caught shrimp sector.
