AquacultureOur aquaculture R&D facility in Vietnam in pictures
Our aquaculture R&D center is located in tropical Vietnam next to the Mekong river. This is ideal because we can do the research trials under near-market conditions. For example use water with similar quality parameters resembling the markets where we are present, in Vietnam, South East Asia and other warm water aquaculture producing countries. Water is pumped into sedimentation ponds to get rid of suspended solids, before it is pumped into a reservoir tank. From here gravity will take care of supplying water to the rest of the facility which consists of an indoor section and an outdoor section.
