16/01/14: Aquaculture innovation platform launched in Egypt; new technique to detect toxic algae; NOAA reports on finfish aquaculture

A new innovation platform aimed at planning the future growth of the highly successful Egyptian aquaculture sector has been launched, reported the global research partnership WorldFish on Sunday.

 

Egypt is one of the largest producers of farmed fish in Africa and the Middle East, with an annual production estimated at one million tonnes per year.

A group of European scientists have developed a range of new genetic techniques for the detection of toxic algal species.

Experts of Vigo Oceanographic Centre of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO), Spain, the University of Oslo, Norway, the Centre for Marine Research Breiðafjörður, Iceland and the Marine Biological Association, UK participated in the project.

Following a study, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) has released a new report that reveals certain fish specifies that can be farmed with minimal or no harm to the coastal ocean environment.

During the study, scientists from NOAA’s National Ocean Service evaluated the environmental effects of finfish aquaculture, including water quality, benthic habitats and marine life across various farming practices.
