Aquaculture VS Permaculture...

[Lucky_Phill]

Here's a bit of a read, not too long.

My take..... Permaculture on the ocean is critical. I have heard about and then seen the damage aquaculture has done in Tasmania ( salmon farming )

Similarly prawn farming...

I don't have an answer, but this article has merit.

Aquaculture seems to be one of those things that are great in theory, but……..feeding fish takes other fish stocks, pollution is a huge issue, but all that gets swept under the political rug

And the tuna saga in SA quite some time ago now where imported pilchards/sardines were used to feed them and an introduced virus almost wiped out our own pilchard stocks.
Unfortunately $ signs tend to mar any other research.

I wonder why he chose those two species to farm?

Money fish and bribie research centre has been trialing cobia for awhile now and had good growth rates for short time and the groper have good growth rates too,they were doing japanies king prawn originaly.

A while back he was doing barra fingerlings for a very cheap price there very easy to do apparently.
