Industry Application Example 7

Our technology helps restore the health and safety of the aquaculture industry of East Asia by improving the pond water and the feed (Japan, Taiwan, and Malaysia):
 
1) By using our IT-TEC equipment and ITC technology to treat the pond water of shrimp culture farms, we succeeded in preventing deadly virus attacks, and even when it happens, proved to be an effective cure in addition to the prompting of the growth of the shrimp.  
2) By treating the feed for fish culture with our ITA, we succeeded in preventing the infection of viruses and other bacteria, and proved our capability toeffectively combat them if and when actual infection takes place.
3) In the case of seaweed culture, the newly growing young leaves are harvested spending 3 to 4 days for one harvesting trip. But, within this time period, the oxdization of the cut ends makes the products less desirous in the market. By treating the holding tank water with our ITC balls, the growers are successfully maintaining a uniform high-quality of thier products.

TLSL Comments:

(1) The pitfall for these firms in the aquaculture idnustry lies in the unavoidable negative impact of accidents including diseases which result in the unexpected death tolls adding a fatal cost burden on the remaining fish population. Wherever intensive culture is in practice, diseases are almost inevitable.
(2) While it is well known that the virus that often attacks shirmp is quite deadly, those ferms which adopted the IT-TEC technology are enjoying better than average fatality ratios.  

(3) Same thing can be said about the culture of other fish, where expensive chemical treatments are the MUST. But, we have helped them manage to cut down the cost of expensive medicaol treatment, and improve the growth rate, the feed efficiency and the product quality. For example, we have achieved a remarkable results in yellowtail culture by lifting the survival ratio up to an impressive 97% as compared to the industry average of 50-70% during the 3-year period between the fry stage and the time they grow into 10 kg fish.
(4) The technology can be equally effective in all other fields of aquaculture.

OIARI Comments:

We have studied the situation of the eel culture indutry scattered across the coastal provinces of southern China, actually visiting those in the Zhejiang province. It will be most appropriate to talk to the exporters instead of individual culture pond operators. What is needed today is a new regional marketing strategy.
