Singapore is set to receive a local boost from a high-tech farm in satiating its appetite for prawns.
One tank at the base of the cluster will be a water treatment tank, while the other five will house the prawns, with about 1,400 in each tank."Each cluster runs independently, and we don't share water between them to prevent cross-contamination. If one set has issues, the others will not be affected," said Universal Aquaculture chief executive Jeremy Ong.
Last year, Singapore imported more than 35,000 tonnes of seafood, excluding fish. The amount produced locally was 628 tonnes. Prawns and shrimps are mainly from Malaysia. He and his team of six aquaculture experts spent six years doing research and development to perfect the farming process.One of the outstanding R&D outcomes is a proprietary energy-saving water treatment system, which uses both mechanical and biological filtration to maintain high water quality so the prawns can thrive.
