Editorial
Welcome to this issue of the
Fisheries Newsletter. In the article by Michel Blanc et al., the
authors report on the outcome of a pilot project in Lifou,
Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia, to turn fish waste into fish
silage for use as a fertiliser and/or livestock food additive.
Antoine Teitelbaum and Sompert Gereva present the results of a
small-scale anemonefish farming trial in Vanuatu. The main goal
of this project is to determine whether anemonefish farming
could be a viable activity in rural areas in Vanuatu.
Anemonefish are among the most popular aquarium fish, and
hatchery production is practised commercially on a routine basis
in many developed areas.
William Sokimi, describes the deployment of two sub-surface FADs
in New Caledonia, the design of the FADs being inspired (at a
cheaper cost) from the Okinawa FAD.
