Decline of Singapore's Floating Fish Farms: Farmers Fight to Preserve a Tradition

Decline of Singapore's Floating Fish Farms: Farmers Fight to Preserve a Tradition

The number of sea-based fish farms in Singapore is dwindling. As of October, only 74 sea-based fish farms remain, according to data from the Singapore Food Agency (SFA). This decline is attributed to rising operational costs and the impacts of climate change, which pose significant challenges for local fish farmers.

Farmers are grappling with increasing expenses related to feed, equipment, and maintenance, forcing many to reconsider their operations. Additionally, environmental factors such as rising sea levels and changing water temperatures are affecting fish health and productivity.

Despite these challenges, some farmers remain determined to sustain their livelihoods and preserve this traditional practice. They are exploring innovative solutions, such as adopting sustainable farming techniques and diversifying their fish species to adapt to changing conditions.

The fight to keep these floating fish farms alive is not just about maintaining a livelihood; it is also about preserving a unique aspect of Singapore's maritime heritage. As the industry faces an uncertain future, the resilience of these farmers is crucial in keeping this tradition afloat.
