Aquaculture de poisson en Martinique : Compte rendu de mission en martinique du 19 au 26 juillet 1990

Fish aquafarming is an activity that is starting to take off in Martinique as possible diversification of giant river prawn breeding (Macrobrachium Rosenbergii) which debuted in the middle of the 70s. Two species were involved, one freshwater species (the red tilapia or Saint-Pierre) and a marine species (the redfish or red drum). This mission report presents, in the first section, the local conditions of fish aquafarming development in Martinique – the current characteristics of the breeds, the existing production sector and its management. A second section inventories the main operating constraints of this field – technical or market constraints.
