Aquaculture in Fiji
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aquaculture in Fiji has not been developed on a large scale, the milkfish being the only species cultured widely.[1] A Fijian prawn farm aimed to produce 25 tonnes of Penaeidae in 1990, but did not even make it to the halfway mark in their goal.[2] Most aquacultural attempts in Fiji have aimed to cultivate high-value species for commercial exportation, however the country has not been able to compete with the aquaculture industry already developed in the rest of Southeast Asia.[3]
