SST Society  

The Seafood Science and Technology Society of the Americas is a professional, educational association of persons and programs working with common applications of science, commerce and regulation for the safety and quality of seafood and aquacultured products. They encourage the responsible and sustainable use of all aquatic resources. Topics involve production, processing, packaging, distribution, storage and any preparation of the tropical and subtropical species be they harvested, cultured or fabrication for both domestic and international commerce. Their goal is to help advance the use and understanding of applied and basic science as well as commerce. Their primary audience is open to all commercial interests, government agencies, academic expertise and students. Their topics typically involve products and settings about the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic regions from Texas to Virginia, and they include the Caribbean Basin, plus the Central American and South American countries about the Gulf of Mexico.  They welcome and encourage participation from similar tropical and subtropical regions about the world.

Their primary activities involve an annual conference to exchange ideas, research results, educational programs and developments. This information is maintained on SST’s website.   http://sst.ifas.ufl.edu
