Welcome to this week's newsletter
Editorial - Applause in Chesapeake, but No Solution
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation and The Nature Conservancy of Maryland District of Columbia applauded a decision to reject the introduction of foreign oysters into the Chesapeake Bay this week. Their approval of the ban will most likely see an end to the idea that promised to let oysters flourish again, but floundered due to health and ecological threats.
Officials have pledged to spend millions trying to bring oysters back. But they said the oyster population is unlikely to ever return to what it was. Despite of the recent applause, the original problem remains: without oysters the local ecosystem cannot filter its water.
This week also saw Marine Harvest's Chilean harvest figures drop to 13,000 tonnes and a study that suggests 75 per cent of all fish oils can be replaced with alternatives.

We have 4 new features this week:
Trailing the Answer to Farmed Fish Escapes
Many may assume that the effects of a few farmed fish escapes to overall wild stocks will be as influential as a drop of water is to the ocean, but figures and statistics now available have put the size of the issue into true perspective, writes Adam Anson for TheFishSite.
Promoting Catfish Health Through Breeding and Management
They may not be beauty queens, but channel catfish are worth a pretty penny. In fact, farm-level sales of catfish brought in over $400 million in 2008, making them the most popular farmed fish in the United States, says the USDA Agricultural Research Service in their April Healthy Animals Newsletter.
Production Methods for the Indian White Prawn
The Indian white prawn inhabits the coasts of East Africa, South Africa, Madagascar, the Gulf, Pakistan, the Southwest and East coast of India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Southern China and the Northern coast of Australia. Here, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations explains how the different systems of production work.
USDA Feed Outlook April 2009
World 2008/09 corn trade is projected up 0.7 million tonnes this month to 76.1
million, says Allen Baker, Edward Allen, and Heather Lutman in the USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) Feed Outlook report for March 2009.
