Hi.
I have been interested in the aquaculture development for quite awhile, but have no idea where to begin if i am to be involved.
My aim is to set up a fish farm(floating) project in northern Penang, Malaysia, but i am not sure how to go about in setting up such a venture.
The interest of this venture stems from a personal interest in fish breeding/rearing that i have done on a hobby level at best much of my life, so when the urge to venture into a business of my own occured, i would ideally venture into something i have fair interest, or better yet, passion in.
Chancing upon this blog has been my biggest break in terms of gathering information i have come across ever.
Any info/help on what i would need (courses, environmental restrictions, local policies) or even a nudge in the general right direction would be sincerely appreciated.
If you do take the time to reply, please send it to both my office and home emails, as i have occasional limits to access either.
My home mail is justjobe@gmail.com, work is josph_edgar@dell.com.
Sincerely, thanks.
