我国仅剩三家持照奎笼 海上木屋经得起风浪扛不住成本

 阿华奎笼（Ah Hua Kelong）是本地仅存的三家持牌奎笼之一，由72岁的郑奕华经营20多年。占地约5000平方米、相当于一个足球场大小的海上木屋，密密麻麻分布着约90个鱼池，饲养超过70万条罗非鱼与石斑鱼等鱼类。

郑奕华受访时说：“食品局规定我每年须生产17公吨鱼，这个目标不难达成，要我增产也可以。我有鱼，问题是有人要买吗？”

他指出，本地市场竞争激烈，邻国渔场运营成本较低，进口鱼能以更便宜的价格出售。“我一公斤卖8元，马来西亚卖7元；我降价，他们压得更低。甚至有买家一公斤只开价4元。养鱼来亏钱吗？我还要赚钱吃饭。”

乌敏岛附近渔场疑遭雷击失火 业者苦叹：损失12万元还无法理赔保险

乌敏岛与吉胆岛附近一个浮动渔场星期三（6月24日）晚上约8时疑似遭雷击发生火患，渔场和一艘渔船被火舌吞噬，业者损失约12万元。

渔场业者蔡剑青（56岁）告诉《联合早报》，他怀疑是渔场太阳能板遭雷击，导致起火。“太阳能板遭雷击烧坏已经不是第一次发生了，但之前有工人在场，因此可以第一时间处理，才没酿成大火。”

Bloomberg News: Fishermen Are Being Pushed to the Brink by Fuel Costs in Southeast Asia

Bloomberg  ....The effect goes along the supply chain, says Daniel Tay, owner of Straits Seafood Co. and President of the Fish Farmers Association of Singapore. Feed mills put their prices up because their packaging and transport costs have risen and there are also energy costs associated with keeping feed in air-conditioning. A bag of feed that once cost S$50 ($39) now costs at least S$60, he said. Raising one kilogram of fish takes about a year and requires roughly 1.8 kilograms of feed. “If we need to grow 10 tons, which is 10,000 kilograms, multiply that number and it’ll just go crazy,” Tay said. “That’s the scale of the problem.”

.....For Tay at Straits Seafood in Singapore, the bigger fear now is outright demand destruction.“Families that used to eat out every Sunday, now they'll say, ‘No, let's eat out less often’,” he said. “Once households cut back, restaurants close. That'll be the beginning of us reducing our production.”

 《联合早报》摄制队日前出海探访了传统海上渔场“兴兴渔场”，并就渔场经营所面临的挑战，采访了主要负责人杨昇彊（37岁）。他透露，许多海上渔场业者选择退出市场，主要原因在于业者年迈，且后继乏人。

杨昇彊说：“五年前从父亲手中接过渔场时，首要任务是逐步建立一套标准操作程序，以缓解父亲和团队的工作压力，同时提升渔场的整体生产效率，并为渔场业务注入可持续发展动力。
