CROATIAN TUNA FARM TAKES A MAJOR STEP TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE FARMING OF ATLANTIC BLUEFIN TUNA ZADAR, CROATIA, OCTOBER 6TH, 2009: A vital step towards closed life cycle farming of the commercially valuable Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna (NBT) was achieved in the Adriatic farming sites of Kali Tuna, a Croatian tuna farming company and the laboratories of Aquaculture at Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (IOF) in Split. Marine scientists at IOF have confirmed that gametogenesis was completed and a number of tuna eggs were spawned in cages off the coast of Croatia. In the experiment over 800 pieces of brood stock were kept in a special cage since the spring of 2006. The fish spawned successfully in the cage during the early summer of 2009. Most of the eggs were released naturally into the water, whilst a number of eggs were collected and later successfully hatched in a Split- based laboratory. More  |
