Advocate Editor Attending Four Industry Events in Q1
Global Aquaculture Advocate Editor James Wright will be reporting and writing from four industry events in the first quarter of 2018, beginning next week with the National Fisheries Institute’s Global Seafood Marketing Conference (GSMC).

GSMC kicks off on Jan. 22 at the InterContinental Hotel in Miami, Fla., USA. The annual conference features three days of presentations and discussions on U.S. seafood production, trade and market trend statistics and information.
