Aquaculture in Papua New Guinea is a developing industry, despite having been first introduced to the country in the 1960s.[1] The only forms of traditional aquaculture in Manus Island and fish culture on Bougainville Island.[2] Numerous attempts to introduce both marine and freshwater aquaculture in Papua New Guinea have been unsuccessful.[2] Currently, the main freshwater facility for aquaculture is the Highlands Aquaculture Development Center in Aiyura.[3]
