Financial assistance
is available within the aquaculture industry to promote
projects and activities which would benefit the fisheries
sector, and which would not otherwise be taken forward. The
overriding priority of this assistance is to ensure that
investment under the aquaculture scheme encourages the
sustainable development of the industry in both new and
existing businesses. In addition investments should aim
to:
Create new, or safeguard
existing jobs.
Improve the health and
welfare of the species being farmed.
Provide safe working
conditions for employees.
Have no adverse effects on
the environment.

Instrument for Fisheries Guidance.
