When you already have a very significant economy based on the wild salmon fishery, is it wise to consider doing something that could undermine that? said Moss. Overall, as the top environmental concern for Northwesterners, wild salmon conservation and fish farms registered relatively low, at number seven and eight respectively. The poll of 600 residents, conducted by global market research company, Synovate, found 71 per cent of the Northwest was opposed to the fish farms, 57 per cent of...

But he says there is scope for a strong inland aquaculture industry if more money is made available for research. A group of South Australian fish farmers has called on the State Government to recognise the potential of their emerging industry. The Inland Aquaculture Association's secretary, Robin Moseby, says nearly all of the state's aquaculture funding goes into sectors of the industry that that are either already thriving or in the process of collapsing. This service may include...

produces 57 per cent of the dairy products it uses, along with 64 per cent of meat and alternatives, 43 per cent of the types of vegetables grown in B. Certainly it is one of the discussions you hear out in the agricultural community, Bell said in an interview. Irrigation needed to raise B. But I think our focus needs to be on making sure our existing farmers are profitable before we try to attract people into the business that have an expectation of having a profitable operation, and then...

Fifteen local authorities gave information about fish on sale in supermarkets, wholesalers, fishmongers and fish markets. A source close to the report, which has not yet been released, told The Times: 'There appears to be evidence, backed by authoritative scientific tests, that there is fraudulent selling and labelling in these particular markets. Shoppers are being duped into paying more for intensively farmed fish which is labelled as wild, it has been claimed. New claims of fish fraud...

Over the five-year period, I think it produced a good fishery and a lot of fish have been taken. MUNISING Local sport anglers say they think a five-year effort just completed to stock 125,000 coho salmon in Munising Bay has been successful, with anglers having had increased opportunities to catch fish.

I certainly bear him no ill will, but the management of the Skeena salmon fishery is his responsibility, and given the debacle that was the 2006 Skeena salmon fishing season, sending Mr. Protecting diversity is the most prudent policy for the future continuance of wild salmon as well as the ecological processes that depend on them and the cultural, social, and economic benefits drawn from them. Diversity of Pacific salmon represents their legacy to-date and their potential for adaptation...

Very few people know about it, but, at the same time, farming of this special rainbow colored fish has already begun as the cold-water fish culture in the mid hills of Nepal. These farmers produce Trout in their own ponds and sell these to different supermarkets in Kathmandu and to the visitors of their farm either in raw or cooked form. As a result, the production cost of Trout is comparatively higher than the cost involved in other fishes like common carp, silver carp, and big head...

One-third of the world's seafood supply is now farm-raised; half of global fish production is projected to come from aquaculture in the next 25 years. Thanks to high-tech cages and a better understanding of fish biology, aquaculture is moving offshore and into the open ocean. The farming of finfish, shellfish and aquatic plants, on the other hand, is a global industry growing at nearly 9 percent a year. From trends in alternative energy to products for environmental efficiency to tips you...
