The Singapore Food Agency recently organised a study trip to Southern and Western Australia to learn how to address challenges facing the country’s fledgling aquaculture sector.
The introduction of legislation, along with close private-public partnerships, is one aspect that is being explored, following a recent study trip to Southern and Western Australia organised by the Singapore Food Agency.
The high costs is something which could make aquaculture firms, especially smaller ones, reluctant to invest, he told CNA. “We won't grant an aquaculture license until we are very clear that that person understands the requirements, what's needed of them, and the fact that we will be checking up on them through the compliance people,” he said.Another key takeaway was the importance of deeper and wider collaboration in the sector, whether through industry cooperation or public-private partnerships.
“What we are finding in Australia today is that a lot of the funding model has now moved and evolved towards getting a contribution from the industry, from government and from universities,” he said. For example, researchers at universities and fish farms across Australia are studying how sea grass provides food and shelter to marine life, to use as a barometer of water quality.
Its CEO James Kwan told CNA: “So having a fish being fed with floating feed means that a lot of that feed does not come down the water column. And then if it's uneaten, it pollutes the benthic layer and the seafloor and that is something that we are very, very particular about.”Academic and conservationist Toh Tai Chong noted that Singapore needs a lot more research before it dives into developing its aquaculture sector, to study issues like how many fish an area of water can best carry.
