High quality nutrition and special breeding to maintain high density aquaculture
The narrow and densely populated land area in Taiwan is very limited, as owning land or a building could cost a fortune. Starting aquaculture in Taiwan could have lots of obstacles, creating high-density aquaculture could lead to cross-contamination disease between fish and shrimp, and using chemical agents to treat shrimp and fish could also lead to water pollution and increase the death rate of the shoal, forming a vicious cycle.
Over the years, BiomiXin Co., Ltd, cooperate with academic and research institutions to successfully develop fish and shrimp nutrition products and became a leading brand in China. “AQUAID” can reduce ammonia and nitrite level in the water, enhance feed efficiency, optimize intestinal microbiota, and others. On the other hand, “EHPurge” helps to maintain shrimp’s liver and pancreas, reduce white spots and unevenness on shrimps, and improve growth speed and weight gain.
In addition to maintaining high-density aquaculture, breeding artificial fish became an option. Longdian Marine Biotechnology is the first agricultural genomics application service company in Taiwan. It integrates big data and gene databases, develops relevant detection technologies, implements the application of research and development results in important economic species, and focuses on Taiwan porgy and grouper in aquaculture. Longdian has created the famous artificial breeds of grouper. Among the ten artificially bred grouper species worldwide, eight were successfully developed by Longdian, later many high-value fish were successfully bred, saving various grouper populations from the brink of extinction. Moreover, it has also created an annual production value of billions of dollars in the grouper aquaculture industry in Taiwan, mainland China, and Southeast Asia. The honor of this "Taiwan Light" comes from being able to cultivate and optimize grouper seed fish, using scientific methods to screen seed fish, establishing a real-name identification system for seed fish, and establishing advantageous species to produce new types of species.
