Local barramundi farm scales up with $2 million nursery extension

SINGAPORE - Local barramundi farm Barramundi Asia has scaled up its operations, with a new S$2-million extension to its nursery. With this extension, the farm expects to increase its fish production threefold, to almost 1.8 million fish per year. That will bring the farm's expected yield to 6,000 tonnes of fish yearly, which is more than what Singapore's 120 fish farms produced in 2018. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.

He also said farms can tap on the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA)'s Agriculture Productivity Fund to co-fund technology that could boost farm productivity. Barramundi Asia is one such beneficiary, where bits and bytes are very much part of the production chain. The new extension sees the farm having the largest commercially-run Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS). With this system,water from the fish tanks will be treated and then re-circulated.

A farm like that would be great in Papua New Guinea
