IMTA scale-up — expanding Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (seaweed, sea cucumber, mud crab co-culture) to new counties/regions, seeking partners for co-financing, technical validation, or market access.
Climate-smart aquafeed — further developing the black soldier fly larvae feed or (insect and plant-based aqua-feed protein diet )work into a commercial or larger-scale trial, seeking a partner for feed processing, funding, or field trial sites.
