Alvin T. Reyes | SCO

Central Luzon State University (CLSU) in collaboration with the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) successfully conducted the Global Lecture Series: Aquaculture and Beyond last July 28, 2023 with over 150 participants in attendance both online and in-person at the CLSU Academic Affairs Amphitheater.   The event was graced by Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, VP for Administration, Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco, Acting VP for Academic Affairs, Dr. Lorenz J. Fajardo, Acting Dean of the College of Fisheries, faculty and staff members of the College of Fisheries and Freshwater Aquaculture Center, representatives from the Tilapia Science Center, local and international students, and other guests.   Prof. Dr. Ahmad Zaharin Asis, Director of the International Institute of Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences, presented the first lecture about “Emerging Pollutants in Aquatic Environment”. He pointed out that emerging pollutants, which have become a significant concern for the global population in recent years, pose a threat to the aquatic environment and human health.   The second lecture, “IoT (Internet of Things) Based Smart Aquaculture Practices”, was presented by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ahmad Fikri Abdullah, Head of the Aquatic Ecosystem and Management Laboratory. This lecture highlighted the use of smart aquaculture management systems based on IoT, which have recently gained much attention for fulfilling the growing demand for aquaculture products. This system utilizes cutting-edge sensing technologies with a modern networking system to continuously monitor the water quality, animal health, and feeding behavior to improve the production yield.   Meanwhile, the lecture on “Sustainable Feed for Aquaculture” was presented by Dr. Clement Roy de Cruz, the Coordinator of Training and Services Unit for Community and Industry. His topic focused on the significant challenge of feeding farmed fish for sustainable development. Reducing the environmental footprint of aquaculture has become a high priority as part of the drive for greater sustainability in modern society.   An open forum was facilitated by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hazel Monica M. Peralta, Head of the Department of Aquatic Resources, Ecology and Management right after all the lectures which provided an opportune time for the attendees to interact and engage the esteemed speakers.   This lecture series is a product of the strong partnership between CLSU and UPM.
