Organization Description:

The Society of Aquaculture Professionals (SAP) is the voice of aquaculture professionals in India, with members working across hatcheries, farms, feed, pharmaceuticals, research, and consultancy. SAP promotes knowledge exchange through its biennial Aqua India conference, technical meetings, and publications, and engages with government and industry on emerging issues such as disease, regulation, sustainability, and market access. It acts as a bridge between researchers, farmers, and allied industries.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: SAP plays a key role in India's shrimp sector as a trusted technical convenor. In recent years, it has coordinated industry responses to emerging shrimp diseases (EHP, WSSV, IMNV, and new pathogens) and is a lead partner in the farmer-led Collaborative Shrimp Disease Investigation Programme (CoSDIP).
