Asia
  • NZ Aquaculture trade focus must be Asia
The aquaculture sector of New Zealand must keep its focus on Asia if it is to take advantage of the end of the recession and further grow the industry. Aquaculture had been hit hard by the recession, especially with the drop-off in the restaurant trade in the United States and increased demand for budget, as opposed to premium, products. The situation was improving, although it would take time for European markets to improve. However, with the world's population expected to increase by 800 million in the next 10 years, taking advantage of growth in the developing world would be crucial for the industry to develop, especially as standards of living rose like in China and Asia. However, for the industry to fully take advantage of the Asia market, it needed the research and development to grow high-value products and market them appropriately. The information was delivered at a two-day Aquaculture New Zealand Conference in Nelson [19].

Bangladesh
  • FDA, JIFSAN travel to Bangladesh to teach seafood safety
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN) have sent a team of seafood specialists to Bangladesh this week to help train local officials on aquaculture safety and quality control techniques. The training will include lectures, demonstrations, site visits, and workgroup activities. Using a "train-the-trainer" model, those who successfully complete the program will be qualified to continue training others in their country on accepted "Good Aquacultural Practices." JIFSAN was established in 1996 through a Memorandum of Understanding between the University of Maryland and the FDA. Since then, more than 800 participants in 18 countries have been trained in Good Agricultural Practices, Good Aquacultural Practices, or Commercially Sterile Packaged Foods [7].
  • An aquaculture food safety centre to be set up in Bangladesh
An Aquaculture Food Safety Centre (AFSC) is going to be set up in Bangladesh to provide training on good aquaculture practices (GAPs). Good Aquaculture Practices apply a set of management approaches based on International Principles of Responsible Aquaculture in an effort to ensure food safety, environmental sustainability, labour standards and other issues of social acceptability. These principles are to be applied at all levels of the shrimp value chain. The Bangladesh Shrimp and Fish Foundation (BSFF), Joint Institute of Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN), University of Maryland, USA, Katalyst, US AID supported PRICE project will sign a Memorandum of Understanding soon to develop the centre which will be affiliated with the Fisheries Product Business Promotion Council, the leading private-public aquaculture entity under the Ministry of Commerce [5].

Brunei
  • China Firms In $10m Brunei Projects
Brunei has netted two landmark deals with companies from China that have agreed to finance two projects in aquaculture and paddy production worth about $10 million. A joint venture of an offshore cage culture between a local company and Raoping Jinhang Deep Sea Cage Development Co Limited worth $1.45 million, will form the joint venture company, BioMarine Sdn Bhd. The company is hoping to culture grouper and cobia which will expect to produce about 400 metric tonnes per year within two years. They hope to sell the produce to markets such as China, Hong Kong or Taiwan, the MIPR said [31] [32].

China
  • Africa-China's action map
China and 49 African countries will implement, within three years, a series of actions to strengthen their economic cooperation, particularly in the areas of agricultural development, infrastructure and Chinese investment in Africa, according to the Action map 2010-2012 adopted in Sharm el-Cheilkh, Egypt by the 4th Ministerial Conference of Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC). Regarding agriculture, that has always been a priority in the China-Africa Cooperation, the two parties will widen cooperation in areas such as construction of agricultural infrastructure, production of cereals, livestock, the exchange and transfer techonologies agricultural practices, processing, storage and transportation of agricultural products. The Chinese government decided to send agricultural technical missions in Africa and train agricultural technicians for African countries, as the action plan (2010-2012). China will also continue to increase the number of centers of agricultural technology demonstration in Africa. For facilities already built, China will handle them well for their turn to perform experiments, demonstrations and training in the areas of selection of seeds, cultivation, aquaculture and livestock [25].

Hawai'i
  • Kampachi will not be available as the grower works on facilities in Kona and Mexico
Kona Blue Water Farms LLC is proceeding with plans to expand into Mexico and make structural changes to its Big Island operations. The company, which introduced the farmed yellowtail fish to chef's kitchens throughout the United States in 2005, has secured funding to develop a second mariculture farm in Mexico's Sea of Cortez at a site within easy trucking distance of the U.S. mainland, where about 80 percent of the company's fish is purchased. But the company's expansion into Mexico will not limit its role in Hawaii. However, Kona Blue is switching from submersible pens to surface pens off the coast of Keahole Point. This move, which will take advantage of Norwegian surface cage technology and use Kikkonet material, will reduce the dive time needed to harvest the fish. But, because of the changes to the company's Hawaii operations, the fish will not be available from now until May [17].
  • Aquaculture reaches records $34.7M in 2008
Hawaii-grown aquaculture reached a record $34.7 million in 2008, increasing 38 percent from 2007. Algae sales accounted for 45 percent of the value. Finfish sales comprised 20 percent of the total. The ornamental category accounted 10 percent of the total. The ‘other’ category includes seed stock, brood stock, and other items counted by number, accounted for 24 percent [8].
  • Alekoko Pond (Nawiliwili, Kauai), one of Hawai'i's most endangered historic sites
Located adjacent to Huleia National Wildlife Refuge on Kauai, Alekoko Pond, also known as Menehune Fishpond, is thought to have been built approximately 580 years ago. Legend has it that the Menehune built the fishpond overnight, meticulously assembling the 900-yard lava-rock wall that bisects a bend in Huleia Stream. The wall, which is about 5 feet high and 2 feet wide in some places, was designed to allow larval fish in while keeping adult fish from escaping, providing food for the local community, and making the pond one of the best remaining examples of ancient Hawaiian aquaculture [13].
  • Call for public comments from White House Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force
The Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force (White House) is seeking public input on its work with a focus on several key areas. This is an opportunity for individuals and organizations to provide thoughtful and constructive comments on the important role of “sustainable” aquaculture development in coastal and ocean waters [14] [15].

India
  • Pioneer Aquaculture Consultants
Pioneer Aquaculture Consultants is an India based Aquaculture company located near Chennai. It was established in the 1990’s and is involved in the production and marketing of fish and shrimp seeds (Penaeus monodon, Penaeus indicus, Lates calcarifer, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, Chanos chanos, Scylla serrata), in aquaculture consultancy for setting up new projects, in marketing of aquaculture products (probiotics, medicines, chemicals, equipments and accessories for both farm and hatchery), as well as in biotechnology research [10].

Indonesia
  • French-Indonesian project to valorize oil palm residues
Indonesian and French scientists from the French Institute of Development Research (IRD) will develop a pilot production of a mini-insect larvae feeding on waste from palm oil in the aim of replacing animal meal in feed for aquaculture. This production is based on a small winged insect, Hermenia illucens, common in the tropics whose larvae feed on the residues of palm oil plant fiber cake. "The goal is the large scale raising of these larvae, which represent a significant nutritional contribution to farmed fish" such as tilapia, said Rini Fahmi , Indonesian researcher They may well "be a substitute for bone meal, much more expensive, especially in developing countries like Indonesia," added Saurin Hem, IRD. The project is developed on a pilot plant near an oil center of Sumatra, an island that has lost most of its tropical forests because of the development of plantations [22].
  • Indonesia, EU sign partnership agreement
Indonesia and the European Union signed a partnership agreement intended to bolster cooperation in areas such as trade, the environment and counter-terrorism. The pact will pave the way for new areas of ties and boost cooperation in fisheries and forestry, as part of efforts to tackle climate change, the ministry said. Trade between Indonesia and the European Union exceeds 20 billion euros a year and is growing by over six per cent annually, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry said [23].
  • Sumatra's mangrove forests in critical conditions
Mangrove forests in South Sumatra are in critical conditions due to the conversion of coastal areas into shrimp and fish farms by local residents, a provincial maritime official said. To stop a further deterioration of the mangrove forests, the South Sumatra marine resources and fisheries office was planning to plant 125,000 mangrove seedlings along the coasts of Musibanyuasin and Ogan Komering Hilir districts, the office's head, Lukman Nur Hakim, said here on Monday. In order to maintain the marine environment, Lukman also added, his office was continuously monitoring the existence of coral reefs along coastal areas in Musibanyuasin and Ogan Komering Hilir districts. Five spots in the two districts had also been designated as places to cultivate new coral reefs, Lukman said [3] [6].

Malaysia
  • Asian-Pacific Aquaculture 2009 & Malaysian International Seafood Exposition 2009
The APA 2009, organized by World Aquaculture Society, Malaysian Fisheries Society and University Putra Malaysia, has attracted over 1,330 participants from more than 50 countries. The event from Nov. 3 to 6 will feature 20 sessions ranging aspects in production, breeding and genetics, nutrition and health for some of the marine creatures. Held in conjunction with the APA 2009 is the MISE 2009, showcasing the seafood industry in Malaysia that is now being transformed into a sustainable industry with food safety and quality foremost considerations. Seafood should be viewed as the source of food to meet the ever increasing food demand in the future, Roy Palmer, president-elect of the Asian Pacific Chapter of the World Aquaculture Society said [9].
  • Malaysian Agriculture Minister Invites Aquaculture Investment
The Agriculture Minister encouraged local and foreign companies to invest in the aquaculture industry at the Asian-Pacific Aquaculture (APA) 2009 and Malaysian International Seafood Exposition (MISE) 2009. Minister Noh said that the country's aquaculture industry was expected to grow at ten per cent annually over the next ten years, offering good opportunities for all investors. APA 2009, organized by World Aquaculture Society, Malaysian Fisheries Society and University Putra Malaysia, has attracted over 1,330 participants from more than 50 countries [18].

New Caledonia
  • The quality of New Caledonia shrimp questioned: Enrique Ortega-Braun answers
The quality of shrimp in New Caledonia, had been questioned by Teva Rohfritsch, Minister of Sea, at the launch of a technical center aquaculture in Tahiti [Mentioned in last Month's update]. For Tahitipresse, Enrique Ortega-Braun producer of shrimp in New Caledonia answers this critics. In return, he criticizes Tahiti's strategy, in particular the investment of the hatchery in Tahiti (Fcfp 534 million) that had been oversized. As regards to the use of metabisulfite, he reminds that it is unavoidable, and even used for Madagascar organic shrimp. In terms of food safety, the shrimp produced in New Caledonia (L. stylirostris or Pacific blue shrimp) is free of known contagious diseases or other pathologies [35].

Philippines
  • BFAR builds Fish Museum in Dagupan
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) is building a Fish Museum at its compound in Dagupan City to complement the existing Fish Cemetery, which has been drawing a steady stream of tourists. Dr. Westly Rosario, BFAR center chief and interim executive director of the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute, said the Fish Museum will be a 4 by 6-meter concrete gazebo-type structure made of bricks. The museum will house, among others, the 1.5-meter skeleton of Moby Dick, the dolphin that was the first creature to be buried at the cemetery in February 1999. The museum will also feature framed news clippings, photos and other information materials about the sea creatures buried at the cemetery, which has also recently been spruced up. Rosario said this would provide visitors a more in depth educational tour of the BFAR center’s attractions [2].
  • Aquaculture Boost In Sulu
The Tongtong Seaweed Growers Association, composed mostly of former Moro National Liberation Front combatants and their families, received training on the fundamentals of higher-value aquaculture, live fish transport and marketing under the USAID’s Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM) Project. Since 2002, more than 11,000 ex-fighters and family members have been trained by the GEM Program, under the oversight of the Mindanao Economic Development Council, to produce higher-value aquaculture products such as abalone, grouper, prawn and milkfish [38].
  • Typhoon Pepeng wrecks city’s illegal fishpens
After an inventory in the aftermath of Typhoon Pepeng, it has been determined that 50 per cent of some 700 bangus fish pens originally allowed to operate located in various rivers of Dagupan City were illegally operating. Most of the fish pens Dagupan City were eventually destroyed by the big flood that hit the city from October 8 to 14, letting loose millions of pesos worth of bangus. The city council was warned about tolerating owners of illegal fish pens to rebuild their structures and, instead to promptly file cases against them. The city agriculturist was directed by the council to continue the dismantling of the illegal fish pens that remain standing and operative [4].
  • Sustainable Grouper Farming In Sulu
Delmar Tulawie, a community leader and former MNLF combatant, and other members of the Tongtong Seaweed Growers Association grow out hatchery-bred red grouper in Hadji Panglima Tahil, Sulu, with assistance from USAID’s Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM) Program. Under the oversight of the Mindanao Economic Development Council and in partnership with the Department of Agriculture, the GEM Program is helping to develop a sustainable high-value aquaculture industry in the Sulu Archipelago and other areas of western Mindanao. It provides growers associations, largely constituted of former MNLF combatants, with technical training, access to hatchery-bred species, and marketing assistance [20].
  • DA upbeat on continued growth of fisheries sector
The Department of Agriculture (DA) remains confident that the fisheries sector will continue to grow this year and maintain its status as the world’s 8th largest fish-exporting country despite the spate of typhoons that battered Luzon in 2009. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) projects the fisheries sector to post a seven percent increase in output this year. For the fisheries sector to sustain its contribution to the national economy, BFAR Director Malcolm Sarmiento Jr. said the bureau must consider two factors in its future development plans: the emerging global trading order and climate change. The DA is bullish about next year as 37 percent of the companies investing in the fisheries sector have firmed up expansion plans for 2010. The private sector investors include the Far East Agriculture Corp., which is a consortium of at least 10 agribusiness companies from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; the Brunei Investment Authority led by the Minister of Primary Industries of Brunei; CP Thailand, or Charoen Phokphand, Thailand’s pre-eminent food conglomerate; and Beidahuang, China’s biggest seeds manu-facturer which farms close to a million hectares of wheat in Northern China [21].
  • Money in urban aquaculture
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Northern Mindanao is introducing the urban aquaculture, a low-cost technology which will enable the beneficiaries to raise catfish hito using containers like plastic drums (to grow food fish) that do not require aeration and other expensive accessories. Thirty to 50 pieces of 3-4 inches hito can be grown in one plastic drum with a survival rate of 90 percent. After a four-month culture period, nine kilograms or three pieces per kilo will be harvested which can be sold at Php 90 per kilo. Production cost for 50 pieces in a drum which include leftovers—mostly meat or entrails excluding labor—is only around 750 pesos with a net of 375 pesos. BFAR-Northern Mindanao Director David Ernacio describes this technology as manageable and environment-friendly that is adaptable to urban conditions and needs only a very limited space [27].

Tahiti
  • A bank moratorium for pearl farming, aquaculture and fisheries
A 1-year bank moratorium has been granted to pearl farming, aquaculture and fisheries. Presented by the Minister of Marine Resources, it aims at giving "oxygen" to these professionals for the restructuring of their sectors by freezing all debts. On total, 250 million Fcfp (approx. 2 million EUR) will be attributed to this measure. The country and banks will take care of two thirds of deferred interest, and the beneficiary will have to pay a third. The deferred interest will have to be paid within one year [1].
  • A House of Pearl to open soon
The House of Pearl will open next November 16 and will permit to make a point on the actual numbers on the beads that are unknown [1].

Vietnam
  • Pangasius Aquaculture Dialogue enters final stage
The final step in the process of creating global standards for pangasius farming began last week, when the Pangasius Aquaculture Dialogue (PAD) kicked off the last public comment period for the draft standards. Significant changes have been made to the PAD standards as a result of the input received from 140 people during the first public comment period, discussions at the PAD meeting held in Vietnam in August, and meetings with small-scale pangasius farmers in Vietnam and Bangladesh [39].
  • Mississippi delta's catfish farmers back inspections
U.S. catfish farmers have long complained that substandard aquaculture is practiced in Asian countries. Critics of the group claim its motivation has more to do with profits than concerns about consumer safety. The Delta Council board of directors, a regional group of agriculture and business interests in the Mississippi Delta, has endorsed a proposal to add catfish to U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food safety inspection program. The catfish farmers want the Obama administration to sign off on a strategy to have Vietnamese imports considered catfish so that they will be covered by a new inspections regime that they pushed through Congress in 2008 [29]. Catfish farmers have also launched a new ad campaign asking for more regulation of their industry. "All catfish should be treated equally!," proclaims the Catfish Farmers of America's full-page ad targeting the USDA. The trade group's ads began appearing late last month in major publications, including the Washington Post. Catfish farmers contend imported seafood should be held to the same stringent standards now applied to imported beef, poultry and pork. Unlike those commodities, which are inspected by the USDA, imported seafood is the domain of the FDA. According to government reports, only 2 percent of the 5.2 billion pounds of seafood that entered the U.S. last year was inspected [30].
  • French consumption of panga
According to the statistics published by FranceAgriMer [16], the total value of Pangasius consumption in France was 25,671,000 and 37,219,000 EUR in 2007 and 2008 respectively. The volume sold fresh defrosted was 3,100 tonnes in 2007 and 5,033 tonnes in 2008. The average selling price was 8,3 EUR/kg in 2007 and 7,4 EUR/kg in 2008. 13.8% of the consumers bought it in 2008, buying it in average 2.9 times over the year. The average quantity bought is 1.4 kg and corresponding budget is 10.3 EUR. The most frequent quantity bought is 0.5 kg and corresponding budget is 3.5 EUR. Big retail groups accounted for 93% to sales of this fish in France. For frozen products, 1,608 tonnes were sold (9,370,000 EUR). There were 3.9 buyers of frozen panga per 100 consumers. They bought 1.8 times 1.6 kg in average (budget: 9.1 EUR). Most frequent quantity bought is 0.9 kg (5 EUR).

  • Mekong aquaculture farms fouling water
The city’s 12,216 aquaculture farms use at least 70 billion litres of clean water per day. The waste water discharged into the environment by these ponds has elevated the COD (chemical oxygen demand) in the groundwater to 10mg higher than the normal level. One litre of aquaculture waste water contains 80mg of COD. Industrial parks and facilities have also contributed to the excess by discharging 45 million litres of waste water per day, with one litre containing 150mg COD. Annual tests from 1998 to 2008 showed that COD content in the Can Tho River had risen dramatically, with one litre containing only 3mg in 1998 but 28mg in 2007 [11].
  • Seminar looks into breeding pangasius
The social and environmental impacts of pangasius farming should be taken into account in developing a sustainable model for the Mekong Delta, a seminar heard last week. Organised by the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ), the seminar held in HCM City highlighted features of such a model [33].
  • Mekong: Efforts to save a fish threatened with extinction
Called King Fish by Vietnamese fishermen for its large size (an individual weighing up 100-200 kg) and tasty flesh, the cá hô (Catlocarpio siamensis) inhabits mainly the Vam Nao confluence of the Tien and Hau, 2 arms of the Mekong in the Vietnamese province of An Giang. The cá hô, but also the cá vô co (Pangasius sanitwongsei), the cá trach lâu (Mastacembelus favus), the cá trà noc (Probarbus jullieni), the cá suu (Boesemania microlepis), the cá bông lau (Pangasius krempfi), the cá vô dem (Pangasius larnaudii), the cá leo (Wallogo attu), the cá chiên bac (Bagarius yarrelli)..., who once inhabited the Mekong, are now endangered species as a result of water pollution as well as changes in water flows and current in the Mekong river. For 10 years, one can no longer, or almost, fish cá ho. The last caught by a fisherman was in Cho Moi, An Giang province, in 2004. It weighed 153 kg. Vietnamese scientists do not, however, remain idle. At about 130 km southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, the National Center for aquatic freshwater Nam Bo comes to the rescue of endangered species such as cá hô. "We started raising cá ho in 2003 and bred them after 2 years," informed Dr Pham Van Khanh, director of the National Center for aquatic freshwater [37].
  • Local feed urged for Vietnamese Salmon and Sturgeon farms
Farmers who breed and raise high-value sturgeon and salmon would reap higher profits if they used domestically manufactured feed, experts have said. Le Thanh Luu, head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Research Institute for Aquaculture No1, said that locally produced feed, however, must meet standards and should be produced only after careful research and an adequate investment. Many localities have invested in breeding high-value salmon and sturgeon in the northern mountainous provinces of Lao Cai, Ha Giang and Tuyen Quang, the south-central province of Binh Thuan and the Central Highland province of Lam Dong, where natural conditions are favourable. In Lam Dong Province, there are a total of nine organisations and individuals farming the fish, covering a combined area of 41ha. The province’s output is likely to reach 300 tonnes this year, according to its Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. The province has targeted expanding the breeding area to 200ha by 2014, with an expected yearly capacity of 1,000 tonnes of salmon and more than 1,500 tonnes of sturgeon of various species [34].
  • Water from the Mekong flows less downstream
Before flowing into the sea, the Mekong River forms a fertile plain downstream. This is the Mekong Delta. However, since a decade, the exploitation and inappropriate use of waterways upstream, including the construction of dams, severely affects agricultural production and significantly reduces aquatic products. During the dry season from January to April, sea water often deeply invades the lands of the Mekong Delta, causing extensive damage to rice cultivation and aquaculture [36].
  • Ho Chi Minh City to expand the high-tech agricultural zone
Ho Chi Minh City plans to expand the high-tech agricultural zone in Cu Chi District, currently under construction and covering more than 80 hectares. The planned expanded area would cover 100 hectares and would be used for farming, livestock and fish breeding, and producing microbiological products as food for plants. The agricultural zone should focus on dairy cows, crocodiles, shrimp and ornamental fish breeding [12].

  • Seafood shortages hurt factories, workers, farmers
Many seafood processing factories have reportedly been running at 50 percent capacity, which means dire problems for factories, no jobs for workers, and farmers without products. Material shortages have existed for the last several years, but they have never before been so serious. In Ca Mau province, seafood processing workshops are running at 48 percent capacity because of shrimp shortages. In An Giang province, 30-40 percent of tra fish ponds are idle. The province’s 17 seafood enterprises with 23 tra processing factories are running at 50-60 percent capacity. Dang Tan Thanh, a farmer with 20 years of experience, sadly observed that many farmers in his commune have given up. “Tra farmers are taking losses and they do not need to breed fish any more,” he offered [24].
  • Famous clam fishery first to receive MSC certification in Southeast Asia
The Ben Tre clam fishery in Vietnam has received Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification, becoming the first fishery in Southeast Asia to meet the organisation’s sustainability and management standards. The nationally renowned Ben Tre hard clams (Meretrix lyrata) are picked by hand using metal rakes and collected into mesh sacks. Once collected, the clams are sold to domestic markets and exported to Europe, the US, Japan, China and Taiwan. Ben Tre Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) and WWF co-sponsored the MSC certification process. The government of Vietnam and the MSC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in May 2005 declaring their joint commitment to encourage sustainable fishing in the country by promoting and facilitating MSC certification. The MSC recently announced the addition of a Risk Based Framework (RBF) to the MSC Fisheries Assessment Methodology (FAM). The RBF enables fisheries with limited data to undergo assessment to the MSC standard [26].
  • Contaminated Asian Catfish in Alabama
The Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries halted the sale of imported Asian catfish and related fish contaminated by banned drugs. The contaminated catfish products tested positive for antibiotic Fluoroquinolones banned for use in fish or other seafood products sold in the United States. Among the seafood inspections conducted by the FDA in the first nine months of this year, authorities found Vietnamese basa (Pangasius or panga) contaminated with salmonella and illegal veterinary drugs, according to the FDA's Import Refusals data base [28].
