It’s been nearly three years since we first learned that the trailblazers atRVS Fishworldwere planning to set up operations in Papua New Guinea. After a very healthy wait, with lots of global delays, Golden Ocean PNG Limited is finally up and running collecting fish, invertebrates and corals which will soon be shipping all over the world.
It was the summer of 2019 when theannouncement was first madethat commercial collection, harvest and mariculture of all marine life would begin in PNG’s capital of Port Moresby but the global lockdown/shutdown/slowdown put a serious damper on any kind of progress at the Golden Ocean facility. After years of planning and months of building out their facility the fish, coral and invert holding systems are running smoothly with some of the best equipment available to keep all their marine life in top shape until it is ready for export.
This week Golden Ocean is hosting the first of many training seminars to certify all of their ornamental collectors to catch the precious fish and unique species that are only known from PNG in the most sustainable and conscientious way possible:渔民岛金海洋PNG有限公司净培训计划12.13＆12.14 20221 for 40名潜水员男性和妇女我们的目标是向巴布亚新几内亚的沿海社区提供可持续的生计，从通过正确使用单丝网的环境安全方式。
当地海洋的收获ornamentals will follow the blueprint set by RVS Fishworld in the Philippines which is totally transparent and inclusive of local communities, governments and all pertinent stakeholders. This new enterprise will result in the creation of many jobs in Papua New Guinea’s tropical coastal communities and add value to reef ecosystems which previously had only been seen as a source of food and some building materials.
金洋已经发布了我们期望的第一个视频库存报告，我们已经看到了一些非常有趣的珊瑚和诱人的鱼类，其中最不重要的是一些非常独特的狂野真实的percula和备受追捧的。克拉克小丑鱼的黑色菌株which we first enjoyed from PNG nearlythirteen yearsago! The pygmy angelfish are also sure to be very popular with the PNG coral beauties having a certain ‘west pacific’ feel about them with brighter orange and purple coloration that is rare from other parts of the world.
Fish from Papua New Guinea (PNG) begin to trickle into the aquarium trade
There’s been tons of unique new species of reef fish described from Papua New Guinea over the last ten years which come from nowhere else on earth so we can’t wait to see when Golden Ocean starts fishing up these fish we’ve never seen in the aquarium trade before. But the hardcore珊瑚reefers will be glad to hear that we’ll soon be seeing new corals coming from this important and species rich region of the infamous珊瑚三角and these will both be harvested from the wild and maricultured for even greater sustainability and job creation in this country.
随着来自世界其他地区的海洋水族馆动物的监管和供应如此多的波动，我们对RVS/Golden海洋终于不断增长并开始分享巴布亚新几内亚的生物财富并不感到兴奋。The first test shipments were sent off last week so cargo permitting, we hope to see these exotic fish, corals and invertebrates from Papua New Guinea permeating aquarium markets all over the world throughout 2022 and we’ll be keeping tabs on all the coolest animals that Golden Ocean comes across.
