The "St Kitts and Nevis Aquaculture Pilot Project and Environmental Research, is a very small operation using Geo Membrane ...

Growth is slower and reproduction levels are lower than fresh water. However, we have commercial results. Now the remaining problem is the supply of suitable feed which is extremely expensive. I am currently experimenting with Duck Weed, using ...
