Our staff and associates have experience covering other aspects of aquaculture; specifically we have expertise in the following

• Aquaculture health management and diagnostics; from system optimisation to investigation of disease conditions.
• Basic and applied contract research for aquaculture health, nutrition and engineering commercial interests. If you have a product that you want to test in the lab or in the field we can help.
• Extensive experience of aquaculture within the context of social development programmes and projects. We can provide project design, monitoring, evaluation.
• ecosystems approach to aquaculture planning and management.
• Integrated systems for aquaculture/agriculture, aquaponics and aquaculture wastewater management.

Our practical, hands-on training covers a range of tropical aquaculture activities. Obviously our specialty is in the mass production of tilapia fry but we can arrange a course of instruction in any “aspect of fish, shellfish and shrimp culture tailored to your organisations specific training objectives.

Our approach is based on ‘action learning theory’ also known as ‘learning-by-doing’. Using this framework we work with participants using a blend of theory and practice in a cycle of experience and critical reflection to build appropriate knowledge. As well as being a learning system our training builds awareness and appreciation for systems for learning, such as essential record keeping and analysis, as an integral part of management which means that the trainees will have the knowledge, motivation and capacity to continue learning about their own system. This systems approach works for participants from all levels of experience and educational background

Thailand and neighbouring countries have a broad range of aquaculture production systems managed at production levels from subsistence/extensive level to super-intensive production. These systems can provide an ideal learning environment for well organised and led study tour participants. Properly facilitated interaction in a range of field situations from the farm to the office,
laboratory or production plant can enable insight and broaden horizons.

Tours can be run as a part of a training course or as a stand-alone activity for groups of farmers,commercial sales and marketing teams, product developers, researchers, civil servants, academics, non governmental organisation staff (charities, etc) and journalists.
