Descripción
Farming of marine fish in Zanzibar has made a major leap forward following a successful establishment of a state of the art semi-commercial, multi-species marine hatchery financed by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) through technical support by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The Korea-Zanzibar Friendship Hatchery Centre was recently handed over to the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar to boost the growing demand for marine fish species on the isles and beyond. The ‘Development of Mariculture Sector in Zanzibar’ project involved capacity building in aquaculture, construction and operation support of a semi-commercial hatchery, linkages to model grow-out farm support, aquaculture value-chain development, and a public-private partnership component. The project outputs aimed to support the development of an aquaculture sector that provides positive environmental, socio-economic and food security outcomes and recognizes the importance of a market driven enterprise associated research. This booklet aims to educate the public by summarizing the achievements recorded under the project with testimonies from some of the beneficiaries.
