The trials were carried out in partnership with the UK Government Agency CEFAS (the Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science) and in collaboration with local aquaculture and fish institutes in China and Thailand.
Tilapia trial
At a six month commercial trial, the species Tilapia gained 17% more weight as compared to control. The accelerated rate of fish growth allowed harvesting of Tilapia 3 weeks early. In addition, the fish appeared healthier and the water quality was improved.
