3 Marine Aquaculture Industry Annual Report Introduction 1.1 Global aquaculture status and South Africa According to the FAO s (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) Status of World Fisheries and Aquaculture report for 2008, the world s total aquaculture production for 2006 was 51.7 million tons with marine aquaculture (excluding aquatic plants) making up 20.1 million tons of the total production. China is by far the leading producer in marine aquaculture and in 2006 produced 13 million tons of the worlds total marine aquaculture production. In 2006 Africa s share of global aquaculture production was 1.5% with South Africa contributing to less than 1% of the African total production. Although South Africa s contribution to total global production is minimal, our abalone (Haliotis midae) industry is known as one of the largest producers of farmed abalone in the world, producing 783 and 1037 tons of abalone for 2007 and 2008 respectively. This minimal contribution by South Africa compared to global aquaculture production is due to a number of reasons, namely: A high energy coastline with a limited number of naturally protected sites, which makes farming at sea difficult, hence the majority of aquaculture operations are based on land. A coastal strip that is relatively pristine, highly sought after such that marine aquaculture competes with other activities such as tourism, recreation, real estate etc. A relatively recent acceptance of marine aquaculture as a viable economic activity and therefore limited investment was made in this activity by both government and private sector. Reluctance of financial institutions to lend money to potential farmers. Inadequate market-related services such as market information, market intelligence, information for consumers, marketing organizations etc. Limited human resource capacity in aquaculture research, management, technical and advisory services. Administrative arrangements and processes that lead to complicated authorization procedures. 3

4 The absence of a national marine aquaculture policy and a supporting legislative framework. 1.2 Policy for the Development of a Sustainable Marine Aquaculture Sector in South Africa Marine and Coastal Management (from here on referred to as the Department) has considered all the above mentioned challenges and has developed a policy that aims to increase marine aquaculture production and sector growth without compromising the integrity of the environment. The policy has the following objectives: a) To create an enabling environment that will promote the growth of marine aquaculture in South Africa and enhance the industry s contribution to economic growth. b) To promote transformation and broader participation in the aquaculture sector. c) To develop regulatory and management mechanisms aimed at avoiding or minimizing adverse environmental impacts associated with marine aquaculture practices. d) To expand the resource base of marine aquaculture from the few species currently being farmed to a more diverse selection of suitable species and farming technologies. 2. Background 2.1 The Monthly Report A monthly reporting system was developed to provide the Department with reliable information so that there is a better understanding of the ongoing operations and needs of the industry. This will ultimately lead to more efficient government support that will benefit the industry. The format of the Monthly Report is made up of three separate reports designed for the main components of an aquaculture operation, namely Broodstock, Hatchery/Juvenile and Grow-out. The Broodstock Report gives an indication of how many broodstock are currently on the facility, numbers restocked, were the broodstock originate from, mortalities and cause of death, and also included the number of spawning events that occur every month. The Hatchery/Juvenile Report gives an indication of the total number of animals produced, mortalities experienced and the total number of animals moved to the grow-out section. The Grow-out Report outlines monthly production for the 4

5 farm, which is recorded as the total wet weight of the animal. The reports also give an indication of the type of feed, medicines and chemicals used, disease treatment, veterinary services used and water quality samples taken. 2.2 The Marine Aquaculture Industry Annual Report The Marine Aquaculture Industry Annual Report 2009 will give an overview of South Africa s Marine Aquaculture industry based on the monthly report data submitted by the marine aquaculture permit holders for the months January 2008 to December The annual report aims to provide support by: 1.) Contributing to the business case for developing marine aquaculture in South Africa. 2.) Recording the progress of the industry while identifying key areas of development and support, and 3.) Promoting awareness to industry stakeholders and senior management within the Department. 3. The Status of the Marine Aquaculture Industry Industry overview The marine aquaculture industry is made up of the following main sub-sectors: abalone (integrated with seaweed culture), oyster, mussel, finfish, prawn and marine ornamental industry. The finfish, prawn and marine ornamental industries being the smallest sub-sectors in terms of production (Figure 1). A total of 58 permits were issued in 2008 (Table 1). Total production (including all species) of the marine aquaculture industry in 2008 was 2014 tons (Table 2 and Figure 2), which is the highest recorded production increasing by 359 tons from 1655 tons reported in 2006 (Table 2 Figure 2). The industry is growing rapidly and this can be seen by the increase in production in three of the sub-sectors (abalone, mussel and oyster) when compared to the previous year (2007), as well as the additional production from two sub-sectors (finfish and prawn) which have contributed insignificantly in the fast four years (Table 2). The percentage increase in production for the industry was 43.2%, and the percentage increase for abalone, mussels and oysters were 5

6 32.4%, 58.1% and 43.6% respectively. The total value of the marine aquaculture industry in 2008 was estimated to be R (Figure 3) South Africa's Marine Aquaculture Production (2008) Production (kgs) Abalone Mussel Oyster Prawn Finfish Species cultured Figure 1.

Value (Rand) and percentage contribution of each sub-sector. 3.2 Abalone The culture of abalone is South Africa s most developed marine aquaculture industry, and in 2008 contributed 94.4% to the total value of the marine aquaculture industry in South Africa (figure 3). In 2008 a total of 22 permits were issued for abalone culture of which 17 were utilized (Table 1). The abalone industry in 2008 comprised of 14 land based facilities, including 12 hatcheries (holding a total of 3139 broodstock), as well as an experimental abalone sea cage farm and a ranching operation. The production of abalone for the respective year came to 1037 tons (Figure 4) and the total feed used in the industry came to 6214 tons which was made up of 732 tons of artificial feed and 5481 tons of seaweed/kelp, farmed and harvested from wild (Table 3). During 2008 a total of 12 abalone farm closures (temporary closures) occurred on the West Coast due to PSP (Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning) detections in the abalone, no PSP related closures occurred either on the South and East coast. A total of eight abalone farm closures occurred due to the detection of DSP (Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning) in abalone, four closures occurred on the East Coast, three on the South Coast, and one on the West Coast. In 2008 only one farm was affected by a fungal infection. In some instances the fungal infection resulted in high abalone mortalities on 8

9 farms where it has been detected. Since 2006 a total of four farms have been affected by the fungal infection. Abalone production Production (tons) Year Figure 4.

The total feed used in the abalone industry in Feeds used in abalone industry for hatchery/grow-out (tons) January 08 December 08 Feed Farmed seaweed Bought kelp Total feed used In 2008 the abalone industry was affected by the following major events: Regular power failures experienced in the first half of the year; Low water temperatures experienced on the West Coast during the months March, April and May; A large storm experienced on the West Coast from late August to early September; Temperature spike in the Eastern Cape in December; Closure of farms due to DSP and PSP detections in abalone along the West, South and East Coast ; and Closure of farms due to fungal infection detected on abalone. 9

10 3.3 Finfish Marine finfish production is relatively new to South Africa and has seen the implementation of three new types of finfish culture technologies, a pilot scale finfish pond culture operation in KwaZulu Natal, a pilot scale cage culture operation in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape and a land based complete re-circulating facility located approximately 18 km inland in the Eastern Cape. In 2008 a total of ten permits to engage in finfish culture were issued of which six were utilized (Table 1). The marine aquaculture finfish industry in 2008 comprised of two land based grow-out operations, grow-out pond operation, pilot scale sea cage grow-out operation and three hatcheries (housing a total of 59 broodstock) of which two were in operation and produced approximately juveniles. Indigenous marine species cultured in 2008 include dusky kob (Argyrosomus japonicus), silver kob (Argyrosomus inodorus) and yellowtail (Seriola lalandi). The total production of finfish for 2008 was 2.7 tons (Table 1 and Figure 5) and the total pellet feed used by the marine finfish industry amounted to tons (Table 2). In 2008 the finfish industry was affected by the following major events: Regular power failures experienced during the first half of the year; Large swells experienced in the beginning of the year in Algoa Bay resulting in fish escapees; Algal blooms occurring during April in Algoa Bay causing abnormal alteration of oxygen levels resulting in fish mortalities; Fluke and Vibrio infections; Water temperature fluctuations in KwaZulu Natal during June, July and August; and Predation by African otters causing fish loss in KwaZulu Natal. 10

In 2008 a total of 17 permits were issued for the cultivation of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), of which 13 were utilized (Table 1). The industry is made up of farmers who sell full grown oysters on the local market and those who sell oysters to other farmers for further grow-out. Currently oyster spat is imported from countries such as France and Chile who have well established oyster industries, however in 2008 the Department had placed a ban on the import of oyster spat from France due to a mystery disease killing between 40 and 90 percent of their juvenile oysters. In 2008 total oyster production for the market amounted to 226 tons (Table 2 and Figure 6), with the total weight of oysters sold between farms being much lower at 85 tons (size of 11

12 oysters generally below 60g). During 2008 a total of eight oyster farm closures occurred due to the detection of DSP in oysters, six were closed on the East Coast, none on the South Coast, and two on the West Coast. No PSP related closures occurred either on West, South, or East coast. In 2008 the oyster industry was affected by the following major events: Low salinity experienced in the Hamburg Estuary as a result of increased rainfall in the area during May/April; Water temperatures dropping on the West Coast during July/August resulting in reduced productivity; Heavy storms experienced on both the West and East Coast during August/September preventing harvesting; Closure of farms due to DSP detections in oysters on the West and East Coast; and The detection of a mystery disease in France causing a ban on import of oyster spat, hence limiting the number of oyster spat suppliers. Oyster Production Production (tons) Year Figure 6. Oyster production for the years Mussels Mussel farming in South Africa is a highly area specific and the majority of permit holders have focused their operations within the sheltered Saldanha Bay (West Coast) and Algoa Bay (South 12

13 Coast). The main mussel species cultured in 2008 were the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovinciallis) and the indigenous black mussel (Choromytilus medidionalis). The total number of permits issued for mussel culture in 2008 was seven, however only three of these were utilized, all of which are situated within Saldanha Bay. The total mussels cultured in 2008 was 736 tons (Table 2 and Figure 7), this being the highest amount of mussels recorded to date, illustrating the potential for mussel culture in years to come. The year 2008 has also seen the introduction of new technology into the mussel industry in the form of HDPE (High-density Polyethylene) plastic rafts, which are more durable and thus able to withstand severe weather conditions at sea in comparison to the cheaper wooden rafts predominantly in use. In 2008 only one mussel farm closure occurred due to detection of DSP. In 2008 the mussel industry was affected by the following major events: Storm experienced in August/September which limited harvesting time and subsequently reducing production, and The closure of a farm due to DSP detections in Mussels along the west coast.

14 3.6 Prawns South Africa have had a long history of prawn culture with the industry producing a large amount of prawns in the fast years, reaching 158 tons and 125 tons for 2002 and 2003 respectively (Table 2 and Figure 8). Prawn culture in South Africa has however subsided in recent years and there has been no record of production from 2004 to Up until 2008 only one prawn farming operation exists in South Africa, situated in Coega s Industrial Development Zone (IDZ) in the Eastern Cape. The farm is currently cultivating the whiteleg prawn species (Litopenaeus vannamei) on a pilot scale and in 2008 it produced 11 tons (Figure 8) of this species. Prawn production Production (tons) Year Figure 8. Prawn production for the years Seaweed Seaweed culture in the marine aquaculture industry is currently integrated with abalone culture whereby seaweed is cultured on abalone farms and used to feed the abalone and to improve the quality of effluent water. In 2008 there was no record of farms culturing seaweed only and five abalone farms were culturing seaweed for use as feed. The total farmed seaweed fed to abalone in 2008 was 1833 tons (Table 2), making up 33% of the total seaweed fed to abalone. The species cultured in the abalone industry in 2008 were Ulva and Gracilaria. 14

15 3.8 Ornamentals The commercial trade of marine ornamentals has not been established on a large scale in South Africa. In 2008 only one permit holder bred and cultured marine ornamentals on a large scale. The facility was operating in Durban, KwaZulu Natal. Table 5 below gives an overview of the production for Table 5.

Only two land based marine aquaculture operations exist in the province, these included a pilot scale finfish pond culture operation (situated in Mtunzini) and a marine ornamental operation in Durban. In past years prawn culture was focused in this province, but has since seized due to competition from countries in Asia and Mozambique. The warm waters temperature around the KwaZulu Natal coast is potentially suited for the culture of some marine finfish species. 15

16 4.2 Eastern Cape The Eastern Cape s coastline has environmental conditions that may suit many different forms of marine aquaculture activities. In 2008 there were three abalone farms located within the Eastern Cape, one situated in Komga (few kilometers outside East London), one in the East London IDZ and one in Coega a few kilometers outside Port Elizabeth. The future of finfish farming in the Eastern Cape looks promising with two types of technologies being used, a finfish cage culture operation within Algoa Bay (Port Elizabeth) and a complete recirculation system in Komga. There is currently also the recent establishment of a finfish hatchery within the East London IDZ. Oyster farming is the most prominent form of marine aquaculture in the Eastern Cape, with four farms in operation in One of the farms is located in Hamburg and the other three are located in Port Elizabeth. The Eastern Cape has also seen the introduction of a new species in marine aquaculture with the establishment of a pilot prawn farm in the Coega IDZ. 4.3 Western Cape The Western Cape is the province with the most marine aquaculture activity, with abalone being the main species of cultivation mostly due to the suitable environmental conditions for this species, specifically the cold water temperature and abundant kelp beds. There are currently ten abalone farms located within Western Cape of which six are located within the Overberg region, specifically Hermanus and Gansbaai. The other four are located along the West Coast in Saldanha, Jacobsbaai, Paternoster and St Helena Bay. Oyster farming is also quite prevalent in this province with one farm being situated as far as Knysna and the rest found along the West Coast, three in Saldanha Bay and one in Paternoster. Mussel culture in South Africa is mainly focused in the Western Cape. Three farms were in operation in 2008 and all three are situated in Saldanha Bay, mainly due to the fact that the area is large and highly sheltered from strong currents. With regards to finfish, the Western Cape had initiated the development of the finfish industry in South Africa and the first two finfish hatcheries were established in Hermanus and Gansbaai. In 2008 the hatchery in Hermanus closed down and moved, however the remaining hatchery in Gansbaai is currently the main supplier of fingerlings in South Africa s finfish industry. 16

17 4.4 Northern Cape The Northern Cape marine aquaculture industry is still under developed and only two species were cultured in the province during 2008, namely Abalone and Oysters. The province has one abalone hatchery in Port Nolloth and a small scale abalone ranching operation situated along the coast, a few kilometers from Kleinzee. The oyster industry is made up of two farms which are situated in Alexander Bay and Kleinzee. Although very small, the marine aquaculture industry has the potential to grow in this province and with the establishment of the Mariculture Park in Port Nolloth, this area could see many investors proposing marine aquaculture projects in the future. 4.5 Gauteng In 2008 Gauteng had one of the few finfish grow-out operations in South Africa and worked in conjunction with a finfish hatchery in Hermanus. The operation was located in Pretoria approximately 450 kilometers from the sea and ran solely on artificial salt water. The facility has recently closed down culturing operations and research is now being conducted on the premises. 17

19 4.7 New applications received in 2008 Although the South African marine aquaculture industry is still relatively small when compared to a country such as China, it is developing with the potential to grow rapidly and more forms of culture technologies are being used and different species are proposed for cultured each year. In 2008 the Department received 13 new applications for permits to engage in marine aquaculture, the majority of these looking at finfish culture, and included a finfish cage culture in the Eastern Cape, dusky kob pond culture in Eastern Cape, two finfish hatcheries in the Eastern Cape, a dusky kob growout operation in the Western Cape and two dusky kob grow-out operations proposed for the Eastern Cape. Other applications included two abalone sea cage grow-out operations in the Western Cape, two artificial live rock cultures in KwaZulu Natal, an oyster nursery in the Eastern Cape and a large project in Western Cape that will cover a variety of finfish, shellfish and other invertebrate species. Six of the above applications have been approved, of which 3 have started operations. 5. Way forward The number of new applicants entering into the industry indicates that there is interest and potential for the sector to grow in South Africa. 1.) Recording the progress of the industry while identifying key areas of development and support. The recording of data on a monthly and annual basis is very significant to the development of the industry. When comparing annual production figures, trends and patterns can be determined and may be used by management to identify the needs and areas of concern of the industry on a large and small scale (sub-sectors). More focus may be made on these identified needs/areas so that the industry as a whole may be more competitive on a global scale. 19

20 2.) Contributing to the business case for developing marine aquaculture in South Africa. The Department has realized that the industry is underdeveloped and understands that it needs to grow. The following interventions have been identified to be essential for industry growth and sustainable: Establishment of land and sea based marine aquaculture development zones to support industry; Establishment of marine aquaculture pilot projects to promote community development, test new species and technologies; Establishment of state hatcheries that will have the capacity to supply small scale farms with spat/juveniles, Establishment of veterinary services to support the industry; and Establishment of marine aquaculture research facilities to increase the research conducted on culture technologies and species etc. All the above mentioned projects are in line with the implementation of the marine aquaculture policy, and a large amount of capital will be needed for this implementation process. The report as a whole will play an important role in contributing to the development of a business case to promote national funding for the growth of the marine aquaculture industry. 3.) Promoting awareness to industry stakeholders and senior management within the Department. The annual report will be sent to industry stakeholders to provide them with information making them aware of what is currently occurring in the industry, such as production outputs, new entrants and operations. The report aims to provide them with this information to allow them to address their own operations so that they may develop their businesses accordingly. The annual report will be distributed to senior management within the Department to provide them with an overview of the structure of the industry so that important decisions can be made to promote sector growth. The report will also provide management with baseline knowledge of the 20

21 industry s sub-sectors with the intention that management can have a better understanding of the industry so that the correct decisions are made. The report will also be made available to the general public interested in marine aquaculture and will be accessible through the Department website. 6. Acknowledgments The Department would like to thank all the stakeholders who cooperated with submitting their monthly reports. It is important to note that annual report can only be made more effective if the information submitted is correctly completed, accurate and submitted on time. 7. Challenges in completing the monthly reports It is important to note that challenges were experienced in analysing the data and compiling the report due to the reasons mentioned below. The Department aims to strengthen the report by recording information such as total mortalities experienced and total fingerlings/spat produced. These may prove useful in giving a better picture of the industry.
