Aquaculture

There are many factors that go into choosing a productive site that is well suited to commercial fish or shrimp farming. Of these, water quality, ample year-round water levels, soil quality and local topography have the greatest impact on whether a site will succeed or fail.

Rice Earth Sciences provides specialized solutions and instrumentation required to accurately assess the viability of proposed aquaculture sites, with an emphasis on water quality. Not only does the water need to be clean and abundantly available – it must also contain a chemical composition that is suited to the aquatic species that will be farmed. This applies to both freshwater and saltwater species. Rice will provide the equipment that can get you the analytical information you require to guide your decision: helping you find a site that will net the greatest returns.
