The Department of Fisheries, Australia is close to finalising
plans for a Kimberley aquaculture zone, reports ABC. In 2011, $1.25

new producers to establish farms.
Fish dealers in Uganda have urged the government help control fish feed production. This issue of poor fish feeds was raised at the 6th annual fish farmers symposium and trade fair at the
