The construction works of Morocco’s first hatchery for marine fishing were launched this week in the kingdom’s northern region. The production of fingerlings is considered a key integration lever to secure the viability of aquaculture projects specializing in fish farming. This pioneering project is set to produce up to 30 million high-quality fry of sea bream, sea bass, meager, and other species of interest to national aquaculture farms. According to Dahan, the support Morocco provides to investments under the aquaculture development strategy exemplifies the kingdom’s insightful vision for resource development, exploitation, and the development of a green economy that ensures sustainable and balanced growth. With the launch of the first marine fish hatchery, Morocco takes a momentous stride towards developing a thriving aquaculture sector.
