Operation

Trialling and transferring sustainable and resilient aquaculture models

The goal of this operation is to continue the aquaculture operations trials that New Caledonia and French Polynesia have been conducting over the past few years or to develop new facilities and types to diversity the sector. The new models tested, either single-species or co-culture, will gradually be transferred to private operators, through demonstrations under commercial conditions managed by or with private operators. This operation, which is part of an approach to develop sustainable and climate-change-resilient aquaculture models, should make it possible to create and generate new economies and, in that way, make it easier to keeping populations in their home areas by contributing to food self-sufficiency.

5 actions

Continue sustainable and climate-change-adapted aquacultural practices (NC)

- Exchange visits to existing demonstration sites to share knowledge and practices on certain species/production models (fish, sea cucumbers, shrimp, cages, inland ponds or tanks, etc.)
- Continue to initiate trials designed to assess the feasibility or improve use of aquacultural production techniques (species/production models). Emperor red snapper (Lutjanus sebae), Golden-lined  (Siganus lineatus) and white-spotted spinefoot (Siganus canaliculatus), rock oysters (Saccostrea cucullata echinata), sea cucumbers (Holothuria scabra), microalgae are various different paths taken in New Caledonia, which will be evaluated and prioritised through PROTEGE to determine those that will be assisted.
- Carry out studies or request technical and scientific support  (human and animal health studies, biological studies)

Transfer proven aquaculture models to private operators and assist with demonstrations under commercial conditions (NC)

- Assess the conditions for transfer to the private sector (farming techniques, technical and economic feasibility conditions, financial appraisals, life cycle analyses)
- Identify and characterise  promising aquaculture pilot sites (site location, environmental description and impact studies, precise assessment of social and economic risks linked to uses as well as to climate change)
- Set up new demonstrations under real production conditions (e.g. as soon as a 200 sq m raceway liner is installed for microalgae production under commercial conditions; install a commercial-sized circular fish cage near the Touho site)
- Support for investment in and the operations of pilot production units managed by or with private operators (e.g.  Support and risk management measures for rabbitfish farming or tank co-culture trials   with professionals or even setting up rock oyster production tables or sectors)
- Make available technical guidelines, the basic components of business plans and training materials

Refine Marava fingerling production in order to establish low-cost artisanal fish farming that is suitable for local conditions and climate change (FP)

- Increase production technique  reliability: reproduce Marava (Siganus argenteus) farming cycles so as to get a reliable and reproducible protocol. Continue to improve use of farming technique guidelines Depending on the outcomes seen with Marava, the production model could be reoriented to other species (Chanos chanos, etc.)
- Document proper cage rearing and hatchery practices

Transfer the Marava model to communities and private operators while providing technical support (FP)

- Transfer the technology (training sessions and changes in scale) :
o to project leaders: cage farming guidelines
o to the FP Aquaculturalist Cooperative (CAPF) : hatchery guidelines
- Support provided for transfer/technical assistance: project monitoring ensured
- Project self-sufficiency validated

Develop macro-algae farming to support the aquacultural sector (FP)

- Consultant support in setting up farming facilities that are adapted to preselected species.
- Preliminary study designed to identify those algae shrimp prefer
- Begin production of various micro-algae species and select the most promising ones
- Integrate those species into existing aquaculture programs and monitor
