With more than 150 participants in attendance both from face-to-face and online, the Global Lecture Series: Aquaculture and Beyond was successfully held last July 28, 2023 at the Academic Affairs Amphitheater of the Central Luzon State University. This Global Lecture Series is a product of strong partnership between the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and Central Luzon State University (CLSU).
Aside from the renowned experts and lecturers from UPM, the event was graced by Prof. Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, Vice President for Administration, staff members of the College of Fisheries and Freshwater Aquaculture and international students, and other guests.
The first lecture was on “Emerging Pollutants in Aquatic Environment” tackled by Prof. Dr. Ahmad Zaharin Asis, the Director of the International Institute of Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences. He stated that these emerging pollutants become a significant concern for the global population in recent years, owing to the possible dangers posed to the aquatic environment and human health. The second topic, “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 smart aquaculture management system based on IoT has recently gained much attention for fulfilling the growing demand for aquaculture products. This system uses cutting-edge sensing technologies with a modern networking system to continuously monitor water quality, animal health, and feeding behavior to improve the production yield.
