Business trip report, Svoboda, Singapore

From 16 July - 23 July 2024, I participated in the 15^th Asia Koi Cup at the Aquatic and Garden Asia Show where I presided as an assistant judge for the Asia Cup Koi Carp Quality Assessment at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. After the said event, I subsequently chaired one Koi section at the World Aquaculture Symposium. During this symposium I saw some very interesting talks on technological innovation in aquaculture. At the same time, I also presented an overview lecture on the aquaculture and teaching activities of the Faculty of Fisheries and Aquatic Protection of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (FFPW USB). The aforementioned stay in Singapore, including participation in the largest scientific research event of its kind in the whole of Southeast Asia, was a great and beneficial experience and opportunity, which will be further used at the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters USB to develop teaching Bc., Mgr. D. and Ph.D. students and research dealing with species and technological diversification of freshwater aquaculture.
