Offshore Aquaculture Development: Integrating Technology, Regulation, and Biological Considerations

Join our discussion groups to explore the organizational structure, planning policies, and technological advancements in offshore aquaculture. Delve into defining offshore aquaculture, improving knowledge, and integrating CZM. Discuss communication systems, mortality management, harvest challenges, biological considerations, disaster management, and remote sensing.

  4. Planning Policy & Regulation • Need to define Offshore - including the different concepts that define the conditions for offshore aquaculture • Need to improve the knowledge gap – obtain more baseline data from offshore regions • An integrated approach to CZM is necessary – with interactions between the different stakeholders • Current industry management initiatives (eg SBM, AMA’) are just as important in the offshore context, particularly in developing environmental codes of practice • Should be initiative from administration to apply some minimum level of insurance for the industry going offshore

  5. Technology • Better communication between cage manufacturer and net manufacturer • Farmers are fed up being used as test sites and its time we had publicly funded test sites • Communication systems critical to understand what is going on at all times • Mortality management – big issue with larger cages • Harvesting is big concern – access issues

  6. Biological considerations • What is the definition – energy, distance, open ocean • Huge emphasis on monitoring both baseline and continuous • Bio-availability and polyculture possibilities • Food sources and sustainability issues • Better knowledge of the species – will they survive out there • Health and safety issues • Disaster management and risk assessment • Remote sensing eg, biomass monitoring • Biological impacts – acceptible levels, sustainability
