Aquaculture in Papua New Guinea

Aquaculture in Papua New Guinea is a developing industry, despite having been first introduced to the country in the 1960s.^[1] The only forms of traditional aquaculture in the area are clam culture on Manus Island and fish culture on Bougainville Island.^[2] Numerous attempts to introduce both marine and freshwater aquaculture in Papua New Guinea have been unsuccessful.^[2] Currently, the main freshwater facility for aquaculture is the Highlands Aquaculture Development Center in Aiyura.^[3]
