Mexico, Earth Ocean Farms take steps to aid recovery of totoaba. SeaFoodSource.com: www.seafoodsource. com/news/environment-sustainability/mexico-earth-ocean-farmstake-steps-to-aid-recovery-of-totoaba The totoaba is a unique and emblematic fish that should be protected and utilized to its full and sustainable potential for the benefit of local communities through fisheries and aquaculture. We envision a future in which exemplary enforcement of regulations and restoration of habitats turns the current situation into a success story of stock rehabilitation and fisheries management. Aquaculture can play a part in this future by producing juveniles for restocking using current guidelines for responsible fisheries enhancement. Aquaculture has an important role in promoting conservation, sustainable development, and food security through production of juveniles for fisheries enhancement and for the production of food fish and swim bladders for national and export markets. Any such program will require regulators, environmental organizations, fishermen, private industry, academics and the local population to work together for the common good.
