The Aquaculture sub-programme budget which saw a 59.7 per cent budget increase in real terms in 2011/12, increased by 3.7 per cent in nominal terms, but decreased by 2.1 per cent in real terms (see Table 2) in 2012/13. This is a concern considering that the Department has identified aquaculture development as one of its economic drivers of agrarian reform for the fisheries sector and plans to establish 10 new fish farms in the 2012/13 financial year as per Strategic Plan or 3 new farms as per APP. In terms of economic classification, 100 per cent of transfers and subsidies (R253 million) go to the MLRF, which funds most operational activities of the Fisheries programme, while 100 per cent of current payments (R158.8 million) are for compensation of employees. There is little detail on the Fisheries Management programme and it is expected that more details will be provided in the Strategic Plan of the Marine Living Resources Fund, which is responsible for the programme's operations and performance.
