Sub-sector Value of Mariculture production 2008-2010 (ZAR’millions)
43 farm closure notices issued to shellfish farms in 2010; 31 west of Cape Point and 12 east of Cape Point.
Bio-toxins (Harmful Algal Blooms and Paralytic/Diarrhetic Shellfish Poison associated with upwelling), remainder due to presence of microbiological contamination (E. coli during high rainfall season).
Highlight of Government Interventions
No closures due to other hazardous substances viz. heavy metals, pesticides, PCBs and radionuclides although risk is significant on shellfish.
Aquaculture’s contribution to environmental change is considered to be minimal.
Environmental Management and Monitoring Framework for mariculture being drafted.
Sector specific strategy and incentives under consideration

• Increasing sector skills
• Firming up investment pipeline for predictability.
Future Plans to Improve Value Offering
Seawater Quality Monitoring ProgramFulfill local and destination market requirements for
environmental sustainability and food safety.Position fish farming in the ELIDZ to serve as a best
practice for other aquaculture clusters/operations elsewhere.
Identification of strategic sea water inlet/outlet monitoring points throughout supply/discharge reticulation.
Motivate the significance of each of the identified monitoring points.
Specify the elements/compounds to be monitored and threshold concentration for each of the elements/compounds.
Specify the frequency of monitoring.Aerial Photo
Future Plans to Improve Value Offering
Feasibility of leveraging the Agulhas Current for electricity generation
• Reducing the carbon footprint of land based mariculture with potential to extend benefits to other sectors in the regional
• Contributing to the energy mix
• Stabilizing price and supply
• Potential to play into the carbon trade
Future Plans to Improve Value Offering
• Oxygen Generation Plant• Fish Feed Manufacturing Facility• Fish Processing Facility• Aquatic Animal Health Clinic• Waste Management (Fish Farm Sludge)• Feasibility of leveraging the Agulhas Current for
electricity generation• Cost benefit analysis - a dedicated offshore
effluent outfall vs existing municipal facility
