The new project will be based around the commercial production of Coral Trout and Grouper.

Sea scum has had residents of Jordan Bay, Nova Scotia in a state of bewilderment lately.

Private testing of the substance - which has been floating off Jordan Bay's West Green Harbour this week - revealed it was mineral oil.

Sindy Horncastle, a local Jordan Bay resident suggested that the mineral oil may be a result of use in the aquaculture industry in medicines or treatments.

Back in 2010, ACDI/VOCA - an international development organisation based in Washington, USA - was awarded a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture under the Food for Progress program to fund a three-year project aimed at cultivating mud crabs and milkfish in the coastal villages of Timor-Leste, an island nation northwest of Darwin, Australia.

The program will also explore the sustainable cultivation of other aquaculture species including milkfish.
