The integrated design of our aquaculture facilities will enable us to control the flow of larvae from brood stocks, to fry, fingerlings, juveniles then market size. This will also keep in check the bio-security of our facilities. Our main cultured fish are black sea bass, summer/southern flounder, red drum, yellow perch, killifish, and hybrid stripped bass. We also have laboratories for natural food production, water quality monitoring , and fish health management.
The water supply we use for our aquaculture facility comes from Bradford Bay which is formed from the Atlantic Ocean inlets of Wachapreague and Quinby at Parramore Island.
