NEWLY LAUNCHED: Online e-learning Course in Sustainable Aquaculture
A new online course in aquaculture has just been launched by the University of St Andrews. The School of Biology in St Andrews will lead the Sustainable Aquaculture course with industry support from TheFishSite.com and international aquaculture consultants Fish Vet Group.
For more details on this exciting new course see the website.
We have 4 new features this week:
Raising the Developing World with Aquaculture
In this age of economic recession and ever worsening third world food crisis, it is increasingly important that developing countries find profitable industries for their sustained independence. As a source of both food and finance, it is not difficult to see why many of these countries are now turning to the aquaculture boom, writes Adam Anson, reporting for TheFishSite.
Sustainable Feed Resources
Fish farming is very efficient in terms of the conversion of protein, which means an important ecological advantage in light of the sustainability of fish feed resources, says a report in the CONSENSUS brochure: 'Towards Sustainable Aquaculture in Europe'.
Integrating Fisheries into Coastal Area Management
Marine and large lake fisheries depend on the coastal
area in many different ways. A fishery’s success is based upon
continuing stocks of fish, which require healthy habitats for their
own food supplies and life cycles, reports the Food and Agriculture Organisation.
Shellfish Industry Development Strategy - One Year On
The UK Shellfish Industry Development Strategy
(SIDS), the Seafish-funded, SAGB-facilitated
project looking to sustainably develop wildcaught
and cultivated shellfisheries, has been
progressing for over a year now. Tom Pickerell, in this CEFAS Shellfish News publication, provides an update on what has been achieved to date and highlights next steps.
