Before joining Dr Rajan’s lab, HKU
​
Hong Kong holds 700 years of oyster aquaculture history. I am an oyster grower in Deep Bay, Lau Fau Shan. My family is involved in oyster aquaculture for six generations.
My Aim
​
My aim is to find the solutions for oyster aquaculture related problems through modern based techniques. I believe hatchery techniques like strip spawning, larvae culturing, triploid technology would be key for future aquaculture practice. Therefore, I am collaborating with the (HKO-HIRU), Hong Kong University to learn the techniques, so that I can promote and apply these techniques for smart oyster breeding and aquaculture.
