The 2026 International Australian Red Claw Growers Conference is the premier gathering for aquaculture professionals, researchers, policymakers, and industry innovators committed to advancing sustainable red claw (Cherax quadricarinatus) aquaculture. Hosted at the scenic Cruisers Beach Resort in Salvacion, San Agustin, Surigao Del Sur, Philippines, this 1.5-day conference offers a unique opportunity to explore the latest science, practical techniques, and market strategies shaping the future of red claw farming. Attendees will gain actionable insights into sustainability, biosecurity, genetics, nutrition, and value chain development, equipping them to optimize farm productivity while protecting the environment. The conference is hosted by Indigenous Conference Services in collaboration with ICS Australia Red Claw Farm. Featured internal guest speakers include Dr. Nathan Cleasby, founder of Living Water Aquaculture in Queensland Australia amongst other growers bringing together a wealth of expertise in hatchery management, sustainable seafood production, and innovative farm practices. Nathan’s keynote address will highlight over a decade of experience in the Australian aquaculture industry, offering a rare perspective on integrating sustainability with profitability. Participants will also engage with practical sessions, panel discussions, and interactive workshops, addressing challenges from seed quality and disease management to market expansion and regional collaboration. A hallmark of the conference is the ARC Farm familiarization visit, designed to provide hands-on learning and practical exposure to modern red claw aquaculture operations. Emerging industry growers, especially from Asia, will benefit from this immersive experience, gaining insights into sustainable farm management, biosecurity protocols, and innovative production methods. By connecting global experts, regional producers, and new entrants to the industry, the conference aims to foster collaboration, inspire innovation, and drive a resilient and profitable future for the red claw aquaculture sector.
