MISSION

        The mission of the AquaFish CRSP is to enrich livelihoods and promote health by cultivating international multidisciplinary partnerships that advance science, research, education, and outreach in aquatic resources. Bringing together resources from US and Host Country institutions, the AquaFish CRSP strives to strengthen the capacities of its participating institutions, to increase the efficiency of aquaculture and improve fisheries management in environmentally and socially acceptable ways, and to disseminate research results to a broad audience.

VISION

         The AquaFish CRSP creates and nurtures strong global partnerships that develop sustainable solutions in aquaculture and fisheries for improving health, building wealth, conserving natural environments for future generations, and strengthening poorer societies’ abilities to self-govern in a way that respects the sanctity of all. These goals are accomplished through an integrated, multidisciplinary, cross-cutting research and outreach program that increases aquaculture productivity, enhances environmental stewardship, addresses gender integration, prevents further degradation of aquatic ecosystems, and increases domestic and export market opportunities, thereby increasing food security, economic well-being, and standards of living for citizens in participating Host Countries.

With this special website, we honor the memory of our dear friend and esteemed colleague, Dr. Yang Yi an accomplished scholar, an excellent researcher, and an innovator in the field of aquaculture.
