Aquaculturists in Sri Lanka are working with experts from Vietnam in an aquaculture drive.
A team from Vietnam's Research Institute for Aquaculture Number 3 began
working with Sri Lanka's National Aquaculture Development Authority
(NAQDA) this week.
Starting with sea cucumber, seaweed and lobster, theteam will also help Sri Lanka devise an aquaculture masterplan.
Aquaculture production in the country reached 2.9 million tonnes in 2011. However, with wild fish catches estimated to level out at, increased aquaculture production is one way to meet consumer demand. It is estimated that aquaculture production has the potential to reach 50 million tonnes by 2040.
Aquaculture reform in Scotland in one step closer as the Sustainable Aquaculture and Fisheries bill passes through Stage 3 of the Parliamentary process.
The bill aims to ensure that both farms and wild fisheries are effectively managed, maximising their contribution to sustainable economic growth with due regard to the wider marine
environment.
One of the changes in the bill is the introduction of 'good governance' obligations on Salmon Fishery Boards to improve transparency and accountability.
The aquaculture, game and coarse angling sectors are worth £700 million and employs 8,000 people.
News of an lower annual loss at Australian aquaculture company, Clean Seas, has prompted a 27 percent increase in share price.
The company expects to report a loss
of between $4 million and $6 million thanks to a strong kingfish
performance and a 12 percent increase in farmgate pricing.
This is around 60 percent better than the $15.3 million loss last year.
