Welcome to Aquaculture in the Pacific region |
|
Saturday, 11 October 2008 06:33 |

 The goal of this website is to provide a forum dedicated to promoting “a regional framework for sustainable aquaculture, in the areas of planning, research, development and trade, for Pacific Island governments, private enterprises and other stakeholders".
The purpose is to:
. Be a virtual focal point for aquaculture networking in the Pacific Islands.
· Serve as an information clearing-house mechanism.
· Highlight best practices for aquaculture development. Past investments in aquaculture are beginning to pay off. New, viable industries are beginning to be established and are returning substantial economic and social benefits. Hopefully this web-site will help to contribute to the progress of aquaculture. This website is maintained by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), an inter-governmental development organisation serving 22 Pacific Island Country and Territories.

Tilapia fish farming in the Pacific - a responsible way forward |
|
Friday, 26 February 2010 08:40 |
 Tilapia fish farming in the Pacific - a responsible way forward By Timothy Pickering In many islands of the Pacific, the environmental costs from past introductions of tilapia have already been paid. How can people in these places now responsibly obtain the expected social benefits?” ? This question emerged as the main theme of a meeting of regional and international experts hosted by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) in Noumea, New Caledonia in December 2009. On one hand, tilapia farming is one of the readily available options to regional food security concerns. On the other hand, tilapia is an introduced species, which raises concerns about its impacts on the biodiversity of indigenous freshwater fish. |

 Wallis and Futuna delegation visits New Caledonia aquaculture facilities The French Pacific Fund granted funds to Wallis and Futuna for a project aimed at determining the potential for aquaculture development in the territory.[1] As part of this project, a delegation from Wallis and Futuna came to New Caledonia in October 2009 to visit aquaculture facilities and meet with key stakeholders of New Caledonia’s aquaculture sector. The initial phase of this project determined whether aquaculture could be developed in Wallis and Futuna given its social and economical contexts, and also determined which commodities should be considered. Jacques Trichereau from IDEE (Ichthyo Developpement Eau Environnement) Aquaculture initially identified two key products: marine shrimp and finfish. |

Promising spat collection trials in New Caledonia |
|
Monday, 02 November 2009 14:32 |
 There are times when one needs to listen to nature to seek the fantastic opportunities it can offer. Aquaculture that is based on spat collection is one of these. At certain times, millions of free-swimming pelagic shellfish larvae float within the water column, seeking a substrate to settle on. By submersing spat collectors at the right time and place, an unlimited supply of bivalve spat can be harvested and then grown to commercial size. |
