1
Submission on Aquaculture
  • Iascairí Intíre Cois Cladach na hÉireann (IIE)
  • Presented by Eamon OCorcora

2
Types of Aquaculture
  • Fish Farms (Land Versus Cages at Sea)
  • Shellfish Hatcheries
  • Bivalve

3
Issues
  • Pollution by Cages at Sea for fin fish (Salmon,
    Trout)
  • Farm Fish Escapees mixing with wild stocks
  • Using feed source of wild fish stocks (Krill and
    Kaplan)
  • Content of Feed pellets
  • Use of pesticides and antibiotics
  • Health Dangers
  • Eutrophication
  • Sea Lice (44 per Salmon) (kills wild smolts)
  • Environmental Impact
  • Commercial Fishing versus fish farms
  • Sustainable Lobster stock for commercial fishing
  • Risk to small locally run business

4
Positive examples
  • Cornwall National Lobster Hatchery
  • Orkney Lobster Hatchery (1985)
  • Firth of Forth Lobster Hatchery
  • Bridlingtion Lobster Hatchery
  • Anglesey Lobster Hatchery of Wales
  • New England Aquarium Lobster Lab
  • Pictou Lobster Hatchery Nova Scotia
  • Redclaw Hatchery Queensland Australia
  • Queensland Crayfish Hatchery
  • Senegal Shrimp Hatchery

5
Recommendations
  • Strategic Environmental Assessment
  • Onshore tank systems (better water quality,
    increased production) e.g. Niri
  • Rejuvenation Program release shellfish into the
    wild
  • Commercial Fishermen as stakeholders
  • Costal Communities Fund (e.g. UK)
  • Draft Strategic Plan should include onshore fin
    fish farms and shellfish hatcheries

6
Benefits
  • Rejuvenation of wild stocks
  • Viable commercial fishing sector
  • Environmental Benefit (e.g. prawn reintroduction
    fights infection in Senegal)
  • Sustainable future for rural, costal and
    Gaeltacht communities
  • Tourist Attraction
  • Educational
  • Hatchery Jobs
