This research project aims to identify gaps and suggest interventions in Papua New Guinea’s rapidly growing aquaculture industry, using a SWOT analysis surveying farmers and other stakeholders.
An ACIAR-funded aquaculture project was launched on 18-19 August 2010 in Goroka in the Eastern Highlands of PNG to develop fish farming packages based on scientifically-validated methods.
Throughout the Asia-Pacific, aquaculture has been promoted as a means of improving income and food security for rural communities.
In Papua New Guinea aquaculture is an important source of protein for the rural majority of the popluation, contributing food security and income generation.
