Abstract: Aquaculture is relatively new to the Solomon Islands compared to other countries. But being a newcomer should not be an excuse to simply sit and watch. The tide of overexploitation of resources is slowly creeping against us. If there is a time that we need to join hands together and act, it is today. This is both important and urgent.

Title: Samoa Aquaculture Management and Development Plan – 2013 – 2018

Source: SPC

Date: 2012

Keywords: Samoa, Aquaculture, Management, Development Plan

Abstract: Samoa’s diverse aquatic flora and fauna resources are readily available from its surrounding coastal environment. Most form the basis of the country’s local subsistence, artisanal and commercial fisheries. The inshore fishery resources, in particular, are vital as food and income for the rural fishing communities. Although enterprise-led commercial aquaculture has not yet taken root in Samoa, aquaculture is widely recognised as a viable means of increasing fisheries production, as additional protein for the local population and as a means of generating income.

The Strategy for Development of Samoa (SDS) recognises the potential role of aquaculture, and specifies that one of the activities is to ‘increase the harvestable stocks of fish and other marine resources’ by developing ‘fish farming to supplement natural stocks’. Aquaculture has already contributed to improvement of Samoa’s resource status, through re-introduction and re-stocking of giant clam and trochus.

Keywords: Fiji Islands, Fresh water aquaculture, Development plan

Abstract: In the Fiji Islands, aquaculture was not traditionally a widespread practice and the modern industry is just several decades old. The sector has managed to achieve modest success in terms of economic growth and food security. In 2000 the value of production from the sector was $FJD2.7 million. Freshwater aquaculture commodities contributed about 40 percent, or just fewer than one million dollars of the total.
