Aquaculture & Fisheries

The planned rollout follows Indonesia’s broader expansion of its thematic inland aquaculture programme.

Critics warn that open-net farms could threaten wild salmon through escapes, disease and pollution.

The approach could add value to palm oil processing, reduce fish oil imports and create new income for small-scale processors and millers.

High feed costs, limited access to quality fish seed and weak fish health systems are among the key barriers to aquaculture growth.

The interim financing was oversubscribed with participation from private investors, family offices, and venture capital across the UK, Norway, and the European Union.

The aim is to produce around 400-500 tons from mid-next year onward to seed the market and support customer trials.

The updated software lets users select between salmon and trout species, ensuring consistent colour measurements anywhere, without light interference.

The discussion focused on aquaculture, hatcheries, tuna fisheries, stock assessment and post-harvest technology.

The Nordic-focused fund will finance pre-seed to Series A companies developing maritime and ocean technologies.

The Yacouta project was stocked about six months before the first harvest and is part of a broader government strategy to increase domestic fish production.
