Fisheries  

Newsletter  

Number 101 (April-June 2002)  

ISSN 0248-076  

SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY  

Prepared by the Information Section of the Marine Resources Division and printed with financial assistance from France.  

Editorial  

Welcome to the latest Fisheries Newsletter. One feature of this  

issue is an article by the Aquaculture Advisor, Ben Ponia, on his trip  

to Papua New Guinea. On page 18, Ben gives us an insight into  

aquaculture in that country. While commercial aquaculture is in its  

infancy, few farms are supplying fish to the local market. The  

favoured species are carp, tilapia and rainbow trout. Pearl culture  

seems to be promising option and pearl farm has been oper-  

ating in Milne Bay Province since 1998, raising three species of  

pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera, P. maxima and P. fucata.  

Two years ago, off the coast of New South Wales in Australian trawler  

was hit and sunk by 181-m cargo vessel. This collision revealed the  

risks that fishing boats face from large vessels and the limits of radar.  

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has recently issued leaflet on  

this problem, from which, with their kind permission, we have extract-  

ed some information that fishers may find useful.  

Enjoy this issue and, as usual, please send us your comments on it.
