Besides, Mr. Ken Becker, the head of National Institute of Water & Atmosphere (NIWA) in New Zealand, briefly introduced the NIWA and its scientific focus as well as the basic situation of aquaculture in New Zealand. Prof. Guo Genxi from SCSFRI introduced the situation of aquaculture and net cage culture in China.

The three parties engaged in a candid and in-depth exchange of views on further cooperation and communication for a better development of aquaculture equipment and technology, which plays a great role in the R&D of equipment and technology for deep-sea cage in China.
