马拉维政府正考虑为网箱养殖投资者减免税收和关税，寄望于通过水产养殖来弥补马拉维湖及其他天然水域日益减少的渔获量。\n\n自然资源部长Patricia Wiskes于周六视察了商业查姆博鱼（chambo）养殖企业Lake Malawi Aquaculture以及萨利马区（Salima district）的奇孔贝（Chikombe）鱼货登陆点，并在期间阐述了这些提案。\n\n部长表示，高昂的投入成本（尤其是进口设备成本）一直阻碍着该行业的投资，她的部门将与财政部进行沟通，探讨能够使水产养殖更具商业可行性的激励措施。\n\nWiskes表示，此举旨在降低进口必需设备的巨额成本。她补充说，水产养殖已被列为优先发展事项，旨在通过增加鱼类供应和投资机会来促进国家发展。\n\n在此之前，长期以来作为数百万马拉维人关键蛋白质来源和生计依托的马拉维湖，其鱼类资源正持续面临过度捕捞和环境退化的压力。\n\nWiskes表示，扩大养殖鱼类产量对于填补由此产生的供应缺口至关重要。\n\n她还试图消除外界对本土人工繁育的极受欢迎的罗非鱼品种——查姆博鱼可行性的怀疑。她表示，自己在访问Lake Malawi Aquaculture期间，看到了重达1.2公斤的养殖鱼，这证明该行业完全能够生产出具有商业竞争力的鱼类。

Malawi's government is considering tax and duty waivers for investors in fish cage farming, as it looks to aquaculture to offset declining catches from Lake Malawi and other natural water bodies.

Patricia Wiskes, minister of natural resources, outlined the proposals on Saturday during a tour of Lake Malawi Aquaculture, a commercial chambo farming operation, and the Chikombe fish landing site in Salima district.

The minister said high input costs, particularly for imported equipment, were deterring investment in the sector, and that her ministry would engage the finance ministry to explore incentives that could make fish farming more commercially viable.

"The aim is to reduce the high cost of importing essential equipment," Wiskes said, adding that aquaculture was being prioritised as a contributor to national development through increased fish supply and investment opportunities.

The push comes as fish stocks in Lake Malawi, long a critical source of protein and livelihoods for millions of Malawians, continue to come under pressure from overfishing and environmental degradation.

Wiskes said expanding farmed fish production was essential to closing the resulting supply gap.

She also sought to counter scepticism about the viability of domestically bred chambo, a popular tilapia species, saying she had observed farmed fish weighing up to 1.2kg during her visit to Lake Malawi Aquaculture -- evidence, she argued, that the sector could produce fish of a commercially competitive size.
