Why native organisms ?

Native organisms can be expected to fit the ecology of the region, and be able to grow in the climate and soil of the region. However, native organisms may not always be as productive as the more popular domesticated counterparts or attain equally high prices. The latter is often a result of being not well known (and thus disliked) by the population (at least at first).

Native organisms should always be considered in aquaculture and food security, and should be picked wherever possible. They are however not the most appropriate choice in some situations. Especially where unwanted propagation, and contact to the outside environment can be reduced/eliminated (ie use in water tanks, ponds entirely secluded from the sea, ...) non-indigenous organisms may be a suitable option.

Note that although the amount of marine organisms is much greater than what is mentioned in the list, we only specify species here that are usable for aquaculture. Most types of organisms can not be kept in captivity (ie they may have very specific needs, are very susceptible to stress, sea lice, oxygen fluctuations in the water, water quality, ..)

Types of native organisms by region

Indigenous fish, shellfish and halofytes map.

Type of organisms indicated in this article

Fish: abbreviation F_ followed by a number to indicate the region. Also includes fish grown for roe
Shellfish: abbreviation SF_ followed by a number to indicate the region. Shellfish includes crustaceans and mollusks
Halofytes: abbreviation H_ followed by a number to indicate the region. These crops are either coastal crops (so growing on land, but capable of being flooded or sprayed with salt water, ie Salicornia W ), floating plants (which live in deeper water yet which head their flower heads come above water and also still have their roots in the ground, ie Nuphar lutea W), submerged (rooted) plants (which are entirely submerged yet are rooted in soil, ...; ie coral, most seaweed), or submerged (not-rooted) plants (which are entirely submerged and are not rooted in soil, ... ; ie most algae)


Regions

For a map showing the location of the oceans and seas, see here

Region 1: Arctic ocean (from North Sea to Beaufort sea[1])
Region 2: North Atlantic Ocean (from Caribbean Sea to Aral Sea [2])
Region 3: South Atlantic Ocean (from the coast of Uruguay over to the western coast of South Africa to the coast of Liberia and the coast of French Guyana)
Region 4: Indian Ocean (from west coast of South Africa to Coral Sea[3])
Region 5: North Pacific Ocean (from Phillipine Sea to Gulf of Alaska/Gulf of California[4]
Region 6: South Pacific Ocean (from northern coast of New Zealand to the southern coast of Peru
Region 7: Southern Ocean (from Scotia Sea over the Tasman Sea and to the southern coast of Chili[5])

Notes

  • Certain submerged plants can also provide extra oxygen to the water, allowing (certain) fish to survive if planted in the area, even if the water had low amounts of in oxygen; see Treatment_ponds.
  • In certain situations, it is possible to place seaweed and/or other marine farms in such a way that it obstructs areas behind the farm, preventing fishing at that location. This method could allow the creation of places where (the still young) fish can hide, a bit similar to mangroves. Off course, fishing should then also not be exerciced by the owner of the marine farm.
