New Zealand's Oceans and Fisheries Minister supports a project to breed "super snapper" fish to address climate change impacts on aquaculture.
New Zealand's Oceans and Fisheries Minister, Shane Jones, backs a project that aims to breed "super snapper" fish with disease resistance, faster growth rates, and adaptability to warmer water conditions. This initiative, a response to climate change, supports efforts to future-proof the country's aquaculture sector and could drive economic growth. By producing snapper that grow faster and can be brought to market more quickly, the project could open up new export markets and reduce pressure on wild snapper stocks.
