Hawaii Business magazine reports on Syd Kraul, a Kona
aquaculturist aiming to raise the world’s first farm-raised yellowfin tuna. The
premium fish, also known as ahi, reach maturity at a relatively small size,
giving them a competitive advantage over the bluefin tuna which currently
dominate the sushi scene.
Northeastern Brazil is following Rio de Janeiro’s example in
developing a macroalgae farming programme for its coastline. Around US$3.6
worth of federal funds will be invested in Alagoas, Brazil’s second-smallest
state. Aside from creating jobs and usable seaweed products, the project will
also help keep algae blooms out of local landfills.
And finally, Norwegian fish institute Nofima has provided a
solution to the age-old problem of getting your brats to eat fish. A study in
June took 130 school pupils out to dinner: half were given a choice between
salmon and cod, and half were just served one or the other, no questions
asked. Scientists found that the
children given the chance to pick their poisson
enjoyed their meal a lot more.
