Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien: The refreshed Singapore Aquaculture Plan (SAP) is a collaborative effort among various stakeholders, that is, Government agencies, academia, industry and nature groups, to co-create a living blueprint to uplift Singapore's aquaculture sector. It supports the Grow Local pillar of the Singapore Food Story 2.0.

Key initiatives under the SAP include the National Broodstock Centre (NBC) and Hatchery Development and Recognition Programme (HDRP). The NBC supplies genetically superior eggs that have higher grow-out rates and are free from key production diseases, and commercial hatcheries under the HDRP raises the eggs into fingerlings for farming.
