Boutique Fish FarmsEnvironmentally Conscientious Aquaculture Concept Being Developed In Brazil

摘要

In combination with the availability of coastal areas with favorable environmental and labor conditions, Brazil's affluent market for seafood could support expansion of a niche aquaculture sector: boutique farming. Fast-growing - and valuable — species such as cobia and snook can reach market sizes in a year or less. Nutritionists and producers are now working to use discarded sardines as a key ingredient in high-quality formulated feeds. Government support will be crucial for the sustainable development of this industry in the region.
