$6M plan on salmon farming
PA Nelson Plans to make the Bubbling Springs salmon farm at Takaka the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, were unfolded before a special tribunal hearing of the Nelson Catchment Board yesterday. The farm manager, Mr Clive Barker said staged development over 10 years could cost up to S 6 million. The expanded farm would employ at least 100 people and earn over $6 million a year from more than one million kilograms of searun salmon. The farm is the first licensed commercial salmon farm in New Zealand. The tribunal is hearing a water right application from the farm, which seeks to increase substantially its draw-off from the Waikoropupu Springs. The Nelson Acclimatisation Society is objecting on the ground that disease could be spread from the discharged water from the expanded salmon farm The hearing is continuing.
