In 2022 Nueva Pescanova, Spain’s largest fisheries(渔业;水产业) business, announced it was investing(宣布将投资) €65m (£56m) in the world’s first industrial octopus farm and processing plant(加工厂) near the Canary Islands’ port of Las Palmas.
2022年,西班牙最大的渔业企业Nueva Pescanova宣布,将投资6500万欧元(5600万英镑),在加那利群岛的拉斯帕尔马斯港附近建设世界首个工业级章鱼养殖场及加工厂。
Despite the creatures being notoriously(众所周知地(贬义)) difficult to farm, the company predicted(预测) that by 2025 it would be producing 3,000 tonnes of octopus a year on Gran Canaria.
尽管章鱼以难以养殖而著称,该公司仍预测到2025年将在格兰卡纳利亚每年生产3000吨章鱼。
There followed years of controversy, with activists and scientists condemning the plans to farm an animal lauded for its apparent “intelligence”, which reached near-celebrity status five years ago thanks to the Oscar-winning documentary My Octopus Teacher.(随后是多年的争议,活动人士和科学家谴责养殖这种因“聪明”而备受赞誉的动物的计划;五年前,由于奥斯卡获奖纪录片《我的章鱼老师》,章鱼几乎成了名人。)
