New National Aquaculture Charter published Mexico

The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (Sagarpa) has released the National Aquaculture Charter, which was prepared and completed by the National Fisheries Institute (Inapesca), among others.

The main objectives of the Charter are to:

    * Be a management tool for actions relating to aquaculture in communities;
    * Provide summary information of the regulations in the field of aquaculture;
    * Guide the general public about the conditions under which aquaculture activities
       should be conducted in waters under federal jurisdiction, including protected
       natural areas;
    * Guide users on the status of resources.

The Charter provides information on activity indicators, development of biotechnology, cultivation areas and species used for aquaculture, common and scientific names, status and harvesting development, geographical distribution, morphology, relevant aspects of their life cycle, feeding habitat and the natural environment, among other issues.

Among the species suitable for commercial aquaculture include: bluefin tuna, catfish, Pacific white shrimp, carp, freshwater lobster, Malaysian shrimp, freshwater ornamental fish, bullfrogs, tilapia and rainbow trout. Read more...
