The CEDREN Research Centre, Norway recently announced it has added the finishing touches to a new guide that describes the plausability of producing salmon and electricity at the same time.
Atle Harby, senior scientist
leads the CEDREN research centre – which is manned by scientists from
SINTEF Energy, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA).
"Increased hydropower generation and larger salmon stocks are not
necessarily a contradiction in terms," says Harby.
In an effort to promote the development of the Nigerian aquaculture industry, create jobs and increase food production,
the West Africa Agricultural Productivity Programme (WAAPP) is
partnering with Teemartins Aquaculture to establish the South-East
Innovation Platform for the aquaculture value chain in Nigeria.
Ndubuisi Menakaya, chief commissioner for agriculture, Anambra State, Nigeria stated that if the government provides an enabling environment for the private sector, the Aquaculture industry would thrive in the country.
Dave Smith, owner of Freshwater Farms, Ohio, USA has asked the state farm bureau for help to reclassify farm-raised
alligators as an aquaculture species rather than the
dangerous, wild animals they are currently classed as.
Smith currently houses a 4-foot long Alligator on his farm, the state’s
largest indoor fish hatchery. He also runs a retail fish market at
the hatchery, which includes attractions such as a trout-feeding area
and an interactive sturgeon pool.
The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation's specialty crops advisory team passed a resolution asking the
bureau to support a change to reclassify the species. In December 2013, the bureau’s voting delegation will decide whether to support the proposed change.
