As with all life, what happens to farmed fish and shellfish at the earliest stages is of vital importance - how the juvenile animals are hatched, what and how they are fed and how they are looked after have consequences to the final balance sheet of any aquaculture business. In our annual Starting Out feature, we report on the latest technology, starting with a report from JOHN MOSIG in Australia on a hatchery seeking to satisfy demand for what is fast-becoming a global species - barramundi (Lates calcarifer)
IF MARKET acceptance is any indication, the argument that barramundi, or Asian seabass, will join the likes of Atlantic salmon and tilapia as a global species is persuasive.
