Plans to farm Patagonian toothfish in the extreme south of Chile

The University of Magallanes in the extreme south of Chile have developed an innovative project to start farming Patagonian toothfish or Chilean sea bass (Dissostichus eleginoides) in the region.
With a budget equivalent to 1.1 million US dollars the promoters of the initiative expect that within ten years, private entrepreneurs will begin cultivating the species, said the aquaculture engineer Pablo Gallardo.
