The symposium also arranged the post-graduate forum and enterprises forum for principals, experts who work in the well-known feed enterprises or scholars and young scientists who encounter difficulties in their research and innovation to interact with each other on issues of mutual interest.    

The SWCSNFFS has become the largest gathering for global Chinese aquaculture nutritionists, from academy to industry and has become one of the largest and well-rounded communication platforms for exchanging ideas, sharing achievements and discussing advances in nutrition, feed and feeding of finfish and shellfish. The SWCSNFFS would also improve the tight cooperation for industry, education and research and receive more and more attention and interests worldwide.
