 Wallis and Futuna have had very limited aquaculture development over the past few decades. In the 1980s, CNEXO (now IFREMER: Institut français de recherche pour l'exploitation de la mer) examined Wallis and Futuna’s potential for aquaculture development, and short-term possibilities were identified, including the culture of exotic bivalves imported as spat. Medium-term possibilities included prawn and milkfish culture to support a pole-and-line fishery. Restocking reefs with trochus was considered as a long-term possibility.

For example, Siganus canaliculatus, S. guttatus, S. virgatus, S. spinus, S. punctatus, S. fuscescens and S. javus in Malaysia and Philippines (Pacoli 1983; Von Wersternhagen and Rosenthal, 1976) and Indonesia, S. canaliculatus on the east coast of Africa (Bwathondi, 1982), S. rivulatus in the Middle East and Mediterranean region (Cagiltay 2003) and finally S. randalli, S. lineatus and S. fuscescens in the Pacific region (Brown et al. 1994; Rechellul pers. comm., Legarrec pers. comm.). |
