Why ‘Organic Catfish Farming’?

In today's organic food market there is a lack of organic cultured fish products. Organic catfish products could fill-up this gap. The project with catfish mainly focuses on the potential and certification of organic catfish cultured in closed recirculation systems, possible integrated with other agriculture activities.

• Supply of seafood from ocean capture fisheries is declining due to over-fishing and pollution.
