Aquaculture in Tuvalu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aquaculture in Tuvalu generally centers on milkfish and clams.[1] The first pond in Tuvalu purposely built to sustain aquaculture was completed in 1996 on Vaitupu.[2] The construction of this 1560-square-metre pond was funded under the FAO Regional South Pacific Aquaculture Development Project.[3]
