- BY ALI AL HAMMADI

In alignment with Abu Dhabi Government's policy on sustainable aquaculture, the Dalma Fish Project has achieved significant success in cultivating local fish varieties using a marine cage farming system.

The Dalma Fish Farm has commenced production of local fish such as Safi, Shaari, Qabit, and Hamour.

The farm, located off Dalma Island, is expected to produce over 100 tonnes of fish annually, with the goal of supporting sustainable aquaculture practices. This includes farming economically important local species that are under pressure from overfishing, based on fish stock assessment studies conducted by the Environment Agency — Abu Dhabi (EAD).
