Preliminary trial of super-intensive tropical production in recirculating shallow raceway system

Summary

The project was conceived as a preliminary trial to grow Peneus vannamei, the tropical pacific white legged , prawn which is traditionally grown in extensive outdoor ponds in the tropics. If a system and techniques can be developed to grow premium quality at our site in N. Wales then these will be in great demand by top end restaurants and consumers specifying a fresh (same day as harvest), sustainably grown (zero water exchange & emmissions) and low food miles traceable product.
