Objectives & Deliverables

<b>Project Methods</b><br> The methodology and research approaches are set as follows,Survey the aquaculture activities islandwide regular and establish the updated information and database.Establish health management in GADTC as a model and promote the similar practice in other aquaculture facilities in the region through biosecurity implementation, disease screening/monitoring and stock health surveillance.Set up the infrastructure for conducting experiments, such as spawning tanks and larval rearing lab, cages and grow-out tanks for breeding, experiments and performance tests.Adopt new culture technologies and practices for multiple species selected and transfer such technologies to the community.Design the mating schemes and develop breed strategies for producing the stocks with better production performance.Design and conduct experimental trials to evaluate the effects of environmental parameters and genetics on the stocks' performance.
