13/02/13: Is Brazil the next seafood superpower? Drugs in aquaculture course

Brazil has the potential to be a seafood superpower but there are various barriers stopping the country from reaching its full potential according to Rabobank. A report by the company pinpoints difficultly obtaining aquaculture licences, a lack of biosafety standards a, low yields and an underdeveloped feed industry as the the main issues hampering growth.

The FDA and the Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN)
have launched an online training module titled 'Aquaculture Drugs and US Regulations'. Aimed at international producers, the course is designed to clarify how the FDA regulates drugs for aquaculture and identify which drugs may be used.
