FUTURE OF AQUACULTURE IN THE EU: SEA CAGE FISH FARMING FATALLY
FLAWED
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT HEAR A CALL TO "CLOSE THE CAGES"
A public hearing on 'Aquaculture in the European Union: Present
Situation and Future Prospects' takes place today (Tuesday 1st
October:
9.00 - 13.00) at the European Parliament in Brussels:
<http://www.europarl.eu.int/hearings/20021001/pech/programme_en.pdf>
<http://www.europarl.eu.int/committees/pech_home.htm>
Last month the European Commission unveiled its first ever
"Strategy for
the Sustainable Development of European Aquaculture" [1]. Don
Staniford
[2], who presents a paper - "Sea cage fish farming: an
evaluation of
environmental and public health aspects" - at today's public
hearing,
said:
"If Europe is to have a sustainable future for both
aquaculture and for
fisheries the salmon, sea bass, sea bream and tuna cages littering
the
Mediterranean, Scottish and Irish coasts must be closed down or
moved
into closed-containment facilities on land. A clash of cultures is
developing between sea cage finfish farmers and other sectors such
as
shellfish farming, wild fisheries and tourism. Sea cage fish
farmers'
reliance upon a cocktail of toxic chemicals to control parasites
and their discharge of untreated contaminated wastes makes them
noxious
neighbours. Sea cages are spreading like a cancer around the
European
coastline threatening the pristine marine environment, tourism,
shellfish waters and capture fisheries. Europe must now close the
net
on sea cage fish farming"
The paper - "Sea cage fish farming: an evaluation of
environmental and
public health aspects" - outlines 'The five fundamental flaws
of sea
cage fish farming':
1) Discharge of untreated wastes
2) Mass escapes from sea cages
3) Spread of diseases and parasites
4) Use of toxic chemicals
5) Fish feed and food issues
Don Staniford concludes:
"The fundamental flaws of untreated wastes, mass escapes, the
spread of
diseases and parasites and the use of toxic chemicals undermine
the
future viability and sustainability of sea cage fish farming
across
Europe. Ultimately, however, the fatal flaw of depleted and
contaminated fish feed and food safety issues will blow sea cage
fish
farming out of the water. With salmon, sea bass, sea bream and
tuna
farmers running out of wild fish to feed their caged fish and
consumers
refusing to buy contaminated, tainted and fatty farmed fish
products the
sea cage fish farming industry is belly up in the water
already"
Other presentations include:

Hough -

- "The development of salmon farming in Europe" (Angus

The public hearing - "Aquaculture in the European Union:
Present
Situation and Future Prospects" - takes place in Room ASP 3 E
2 in front
of the Fisheries Committee in the European Parliament, rue Wiertz,
