23/02/13: Japanese aquaculture restaurant; Canadian government promotes prawn industry; Marine Harvest apprentice

An aquaculture restaurant run by Kinki University, Japan is set to open its doors to the public in April 2013.The Osaka-based eatery will specialise in blue-fin tuna and other fish raised from eggs at its aquaculture facilities. The aim of the restaurant is to popularise farmed seafood in stores on a scale equivalent to commonly available meats.

The Canadian government and the Canadian Association of Prawn Producers have joined forces to promote prawn exports. A $165,000 marketing campaign has been devised to draw attention to cold-water shrimp in countries including China and Russia.

The first aquaculture apprentice at Marine Harvest, Scotland has started work. Sixteen-year-old Ross MacDonald from Fort William beat off stiff competition to work at Scotland's largest aquaculture company.  MacDonald will works across a range of departments, receiving training on boat handling, fish health, feed management and finance.
