Tuvaluan Fisheries Officer Mr. Lealai Bataka recently completed a 3-week training program on giant clam farming techniques in Tarawa, Kiribati! Hosted at Tanaea Hatchery, the training covered giant clam spawning, larval rearing, and microalgae culture, supported by the FAO project TCP/SAP/3904. Mr. Bataka worked alongside Kiribati’s Coastal Fisheries Division team, gaining hands-on experience and valuable insights. He described the training as highly productive and is eager to apply these skills to boost giant clam farming in Tuvalu. A big thank you to FAO and Kiribati’s Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources for this incredible opportunity!
