Qatar Centre Boosts Food Security Through Aquaculture Production
What happened
The Aquatic Research Centre in Doha, Qatar, is actively involved in strengthening the country’s food security through aquaculture. The centre focuses on the breeding and production of Grouper (Hamour) and other marine life, supporting both private aquaculture projects and marine stock replenishment. Recent releases included 64,000 young seabream into Qatar’s waters alone.
Why it matters
The centre's work combines scientific breeding with the domestic supply chain, contributing to fresh food availability. Production partnerships have successfully reached 8.8 tonnes of shrimp and 19.9 tonnes of fish. This initiative supports the sustainability of Qatar’s fisheries and domestic food supply.
