New aquaculture plan to boost high-quality fish egg supply and hatchery upgrades

It also aims to equip workers with modern aquaculture skills.

The Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment and the Singapore Food Agency co-developed the Singapore Aquaculture Plan to build a resilient and sustainable aquaculture sector.

Dr. Koh Poh Koon, Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment, said the plan has five pillars: space and infrastructure planning; enabling regulations; research, innovation, and enterprise; ecosystem development and; demand offtake and promotion of local produce.

For one, it aims to increase the supply of high-quality, genetically superior fish eggs and fingerlings and upgrade local hatchery facilities.

Another key aspect of the new plan is the focus on investing in R&D to tackle disease management, improve feed efficiency, and drive aquaculture innovation through academic collaboration.

It also aims to equip workers with skills in modern aquaculture practices and attract talent to the sector through educational initiatives and career development opportunities.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
