44-year-old fishery researcher Ryotaro Ishida recently succeeded in mass-farming “shishamo,” a rare saltwater fish that is only found in the waters around Hokkaido, Japan.
Speaking to the Japan Times, Ishida said it is probably the first time shishamo have been farmed successfully.
The Ocean Sciences Centre, a department of Memorial University, Canada recently announced it is soon to receive CAD$110,000 in federal money in order to enhance its capacity to respond to the needs of the provincial aquaculture industry.
According to a news release, the centre will engage in Atlantic salmon aquaculture and climate change research.

Traditionally made from cured sturgeon eggs, Caviar is one of the world's most expensive food products.
Brazilian researchers however, have developed a caviar product made from trout eggs which they believe could become an economically lucrative alternative for domestic trout producers.
As sturgeon are an endangered species, trout caviar also offers a sustainable substitute.
