First milestone: 30–40 million fry within 3–4 years.
Working toward 7,000–8,000 kg/acre with aeration.
Our In-Pond Raceway System, running since 2020.
Most local farmers still get 300–500 kg per acre using traditional methods. Our own ponds now produce 3,000–4,000 kg per acre. We built a 40–50 person training room on the farm to close that gap — and we open our doors to university students learning aquaculture in practice, not just theory.
