High density cultivation of edible fish and shrimp in Singapore

Introduction: Singapore News: with the assistance of Singapore Science and Technology Bureau, Economic Development Bureau and other departments, Singapore aquaculture chain International Co., Ltd has successfully studied a set of high-density breeding methods for edible fish and shrimp, and plans to spend 8 million Singapore dollars (about 4.4 million US dollars) next year to set up a high-tech aquaculture farm in the north of Singapore Zhong Yichang, one of the founders of the international aquatic chain company, said he and another founder left the planned high-tech edible fish and shrimp farm to become the first aquatic operator in the region to integrate aquaculture, wholesale and distribution Zhong Yichang said that their aquaculture farm has three advantages that are not available in the common breeding places, namely, water quality management, pathogen control and feed management, and these three advantages can be high-density and large-scale cultivation of edible fish and shrimp Zhong Yichang said that he applied engineering technology to biotechnology, and used engineering principles to control the water quality of the farm, so that fish and shrimp can breed in a specially treated pool with high density The high-density cultivation method will occupy a lot less land than the common cultivation method, and the amount of aquaculture per hectare can be 10 times higher than the common cultivation method In addition, as the aquaculture environment can be improved through water quality management, bacteria and feed control, the life span of fish and shrimp in the pool can be extended, so that the volume of aquatic products on the market will be larger than the general one, and the average length of shrimp can reach 7 inches He explained that the high-tech aquatic breeding farm is expected to develop in three stages in five years: the first stage, investment and construction of infrastructure, propagation of shrimp and fry, and cultivation of them into edible fish and shrimp; the second stage, investment in refrigeration equipment, business development to live aquatic refrigeration and distribution; the third stage, development of import and export of frozen aquatic products distribution After the successful development of its business in Singapore, the company plans to expand its market to mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Australia, Malaysia and Japan, Zhong said.
