WorldFish Incubator is a new programme by WorldFish Center into making sustainable aquaculture possible.
The innovative programme is designed to support
investment into sustainable small and medium-sized aquaculture
enterprises in developing countries. It identifies suitable projects and
facilitates technical and financial assistance, offering nurturing in
sustainable aquaculture through its network of contacts.
By leveraging
the benefits of scale, WorldFish Incubator will help the aquaculture
sector deliver on its promise to meet the growing demand for fish whilst
ensuring equitable supplies and access for the poor.
Catfish fry can thrive by feeding on naturally occurring
zooplankton according to research at Mississippi State University, USA.
Scientists at MSU’s Thad Cochran National
Warmwater Aquaculture Center compared the growth and survival of two
groups of recently hatched catfish.
“Postponing the use of specially prepared commercial fry feed for six
weeks showed fry are relying on naturally occurring microscopic food
organisms, such as zooplankton,” said Charles Mischke, aquaculture
research professor at MSU’s Delta Research and Extension Center in
Stoneville told the Mississippi Business Journal.
Nova Austral, Chile has achieved the Global
Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification.
Nova Austral’s salmon processing plant located in
Porvenir, Chile (in Region XII) earned BAP certification on June 27, 2013.
Nova Austral is one of Chile's largest salmon producers, processing
more than 20,000 metric tons of Atlantic salmon annually.
