SINGAPORE /PRNewswire/
-- It
is now in the final few days before Aquarama, the
ornamental aquatic industry's premier biennial event, opens its
doors to the trade and public…followed a day later by its
sister -- but independent -- show, Pet Asia.
As
expected, all the established and well-loved Aquarama favourites
have been retained for this latest edition. However, complacency is
a word that doesn't exist in the Aquarama vocabulary! The team is
always alert to market trends and developing 'hot' issues, and take
appropriate steps to bring these to the event. It is also always on
the lookout for ways to reach new audiences, exhibitors and
visitors.
A
perfect example of a combination of all the above is the
introduction of the world of public aquaria to Aquarama 2015 -
a perfectly logical move, since the ornamental aquatic
industry supplies both the home and public aquaria sectors.
Conscious of this duality, Aquarama set up a Public Aquaria
Committee and its members have come up with a really exciting and
relevant programme of activities, which will highlight and
reinforce the links between the two components of this spectrum, as
well as forge new agreements, collaborations and understanding.
This specially devised programme will include features, such as a
Round Table Discussion and a Public Aquaria Seminar, where topics
ranging from sustainable harvesting for both industries, to
artificial insemination of sharks and rays, will be addressed by an
international panel of top experts.
Away
from public aquaria, the Aquarama ever-popular and universally
respected competitions welcome a colourful newcomer: the Crystal
Bee Shrimp Competition. Launched in recognition of the ongoing
interest in these tiny jewels, this will be a 'micro' competition
of 'major' beauty proportions. Being the first staging of this new
competitive element, the limit of entries was set at 40. It was
therefore hugely encouraging to find that the period for
registering entries had to close early because the target was met
with more than one month to go.
This
high level of demand for space also occurred with regard to several
other categories, among them Betta, Guppy (Trio) and Dragon Fish,
all of which had to close early. And the good news continues,
because the ever-popular Farm Visits were also fully booked and the
Trade and Public Seminar programmes are full to the brim as
well.
Moving
away from aquatics to pets in general, Pet Asia is, once again,
being held alongside, but independently from, Aquarama, with its
own programme of activities. This show will open one day after
Aquarama, i.e. on Friday, 29 May, and will last for three days,
complimentary to all trade and public visitors.
Highlights well worth noting are: Day 1 - Pet Style Grooming
Examination and Dog Grooming Examination; Day 2 - Dog Obedience
Competition; Day 3 - National Rabbit Show, Fancy Rabbit Show and
Cavy (Guinea Pig) Show.

events, may be found on their respective websites: www.aquarama.com.sg and www.petasia.com.sg.
