Aquaculture. The culture or farming of fish, shellfish or other aquatic plants and animals. Aquaculture is dependent on the use of the water area and, when consistent with control of pollution prevention of damage to the environment, is a preferred use of the water area. Aquaculture does not include harvest of wild geoduck associated with the state managed wildstock geoduck industry.
Aquaculture. No moorings shall be allowed within areas that fail to meet the California Department of Public Health calculations for safe distances between moorings and shellfish growing operations. No moorings shall be located within state water bottom lease areas for aquaculture unless authorized by the State of California.
Aquaculture. Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, the division of responsibility for permitting, compliance, and enforcement of aquaculture facilities which are not exempt from Part IV, Chapter 373, F.S., or which require aquaculture general permits under Chapter 403, F.S., shall be pursuant to Sections 373.046 and 403.814, F.S. For aquaculture activities for which the DISTRICT has Chapter 403, F.S., general permitting authority, the DISTRICT shall also have the authority to issue letters determining that no permit is required and to perform compliance monitoring and enforcement activities.
Aquaculture. (1) Aquaculture is dependent on the use of the water area and, when consistent with control of pollution and prevention of damage to the environment, is a preferred use of the water area. While aquaculture is not anticipated within the City’s shoreline jurisdiction, some scale or form of aquaculture could be appropriate.
Aquaculture. (1) Where allowed. Aquaculture is allowed as a conditional use in the Aquatic environment where it can be located, designed, constructed, and managed to avoid all of the following: a net loss of shoreline ecological functions, spreading diseases to native aquatic life, adversely impacting native eelgrass and macroalgae species, and significantly conflicting with navigation and public access.
Aquaculture. Belize commits to implement a transparent, science based, socially responsible regulations consistent with international best practice for a high-value, sustainable aquaculture and mariculture industry in Belize’s Ocean and waters on the landward side of the baseline of the territorial sea (“Internal Waters”).
Aquaculture. Of the three sub-sectors,Aquaculture has the most potential for socio-economic growth and food security, despite being untapped in many African countries. However, a few countries notably, Egypt, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda have made some improvement in management practices contributing to enhanced fish production. Egypt is the largest producer of Tilapia from fish farming whilst Nigeria is the largest producer of Catfish from farming. The overall contribution of aquaculture to the total global production is about 2.3% as compared to Asian countries with about 90%.The main challenge is that the majority of aquaculture farms are based on subsistence operations with limited commercial enterprises on the continent.Aquaculture is mainly practiced in earthen ponds, tanks, raceways and cage cultures on lakes or rivers. The major challenges hindering the expansion and realization of Africa’s full aquaculture potential arise from:
Aquaculture. The Parties anticipate one or more aquaculture facilities for farming of commercially viable fish species, such as tilapia or catfish, including within water storage vessels/reservoirs which will serve as visual amendities for associated development. Current estimates include 3-6 surface acres of such ponds with total storage volumes of 10-20 acre feet, with associated evaporation requiring annual replacement of 7.5-15 acre feet per year, and freshening flows for aquatic health estimated at approximately10-20 annual acre feet. Total aquiculture demand is therefore approximately 55 annual acre feet of water supply, and while releaseses associcated with freshening flows may be re-utilized for other purposes, including potentially pasture irrigation, in the interests of conservatism such efficiencies are not considered in this Agreement.
Aquaculture. The South African aquaculture sector consists of freshwater and marine aquaculture. Technology and services in this sector are well-established for certain species (e.g. trout, abalone, oysters, prawns, etc), while still lacking for species such as tuna, seaweed, cob, etc.18 Government’s main interventions in this area include establishment of the sector through institutionalisation of support, key services, and the regulatory framework.19 To boost the aquaculture sector, DAFF aims to develop, maintain and promote quality, safety, and traceability standards. The sector is also among the nine sectors identified as key priorities for South Africa’s Oceans Economy. The contribution of the aquaculture sector to the GDP is expected to reach R10 billion to R16 billion in 2033 from R7 billion in 2010. In terms of job creation a contribution of 170 000 to 250 000 is estimated by 2033.20
Aquaculture. To achieve the specific objective referred to in point (a) of Article 22a(1) as regards the promotion of aquaculture activities, support shall be consistent with the multiannual national strategic plans for the development of aquaculture referred to in Article 34(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013.
