Coronavirus concerns have caused the Infofish World Tuna Trade Conference and Exhibition set for May in Bangkok to be postponed.

"We realize that this may come as a disappointment to conference delegates, exhibitors, co-organizers, sponsors, supporters, collaborators and visitors," said organizer Phil Roberts.

He noted with booths fully taken for the event, the conference will be rescheduled.

"The decision to reschedule was, therefore, a difficult one, driven by our responsibility to ensure the best interests of all those concerned, and particularly their good health.
