Innovative Oyster hatchery
ABOUT the hatchery
The hatchery at hku will be able to solve the problems faced by oyster farmers in Hong Kong, and open a bright road to the future of oyster cultivation in Hong Kong and China that contributes globally. The hatchery at hku is built using cutting edge technology that produces resistant and fast growing oyster seeds, and those seeds will be distributed to our important collaborators, the oyster growers, for free in the trial period. The main materials used to build the machines in the hatchery are environmentally friendly recycled materials, and parts could be easily bought in hardware shops at a low price. The knowledge, technology and methods could be transferred to oyster growers in Hong Kong and China, they could easily acquire the technology and build their own hatcheries, and walk together with scientists of HKU towards a sustainable and innovative future of oyster aquaculture.
