NEWS World News NEWS... Canada backs new Aquaculture Act
FISH farmers in Canada have thrown their weight behind proposals for a national Aquaculture Act, the first of its kind in the country.
The Canadian
Aquaculture Industry Alliance said the move, by the Senate Standing Committee of Fisheries and Oceans, will recog- nise seafood producers as farmers. ‘It will also result in an open, accounta- ble and transparent regulatory process and ensure that important
federal and provincial regulatory system is based on legislation 150 years old. The CAIA describes the regime as ‘complex, uncertain and confusing’. ‘Few jurisdictions can

Zambian farmer to build feed facility
A ZAMBIAN based tila- pia farmer will become a vertically integrated operation when its new feed mill opens at the end of 2016. Yalelo, owned by the investment group Oakfield Limited, has been using three local suppliers until now, according to a report in FeedNavigator. The aquaculture industry is in its infancy in Zambia and Yalelo’s mill will be the first ded- icated aqua feed facility in the country.
The plant will have an initial capacity of 25,000 tonnes annually, and can increase that to 50,000 to meet demand. In February, the African Development Bank called for more investment in Zambian aquaculture to boost production.
ASC approval in Chile
CERMAQ Chile has been awarded ASC certifi- cation for a second salmon farm. After its facility in South Unicorn Sea, in the region of Magallanes, became the first ASC approved Chilean salmon farm last year, it has now obtained its second certification in Punta Laura Norte, also in Magallanes. ‘This is recognition for the work that started being done many years ago and that has no end date,’ said Francisco Miranda, CEO.
