23/09/13: Aqua museum for Kerela; opposition to New Zealand geoduck farm; dam fish farming in Eritrea

Mala in Kerala, India is to get an aqua museum.

Set up by the Agency for Development of Aquaculture, Kerala (ADAK), the museum will serve as a educational facility as well a tourist attraction.

The project aims to develop the Poyya Fish Farm into a model traditional fishing village, which will provide an overview of the significant aspects of inland fisheries.

Plans for a geoduck farm off Nelson Island, New Zealand have received strong opposition from existing coastal users.

The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) has asked for one of Emerald Sea Farms to find “a different remote location” for its shellfish farm. 

Emerald Sea Farms has reapplied for two sites on the island for geoduck farming, with one of the sites fronting the SCRD’s Harry Roberts Park.

SCRD believe that the proposed site will interfere with boat traffic and the area's potential as a forage fish spawning ground.

Fish farming in the dams of at Gash-Barka region, Eritrea is going well according to Dejen Foto, head of fish farming in the Marine Resources Ministry.

Fish farming at the dams of Gerset, Fanko-Rawi, Fanko-Tsimu'e and Bademit uses water cumulated in the dams for fish farming in addition to irrigation for farming.
