Mobile Hatchery Learning Center Project

The company has allocated 2.4 million baht for this project, distributed over three years at 800,000 baht per year, in collaboration with the Arboriculture Research Institute at Mahasarakham University. This partnership supports the development of the Mobile Hatchery Learning Center in Chaiyaburi Subdistrict, Tha Uthen District, Nakhon Phanom Province. The project aims to enhance aquaculture capacity within local communities, focusing on self-sufficiency and the sustainable use of natural resources. This initiative addresses the challenges posed by environmental changes, water resource degradation, and overfishing, which have significantly impacted aquatic populations in the Mekong and Songkhram Rivers. Beyond restoring biodiversity and regenerating ecosystems, this initiative also creates sustainable economic opportunities and long-term employment for local communities. It is estimated that the project will benefit local residents and contribute 403,775 baht annually to the local economy. Additionally, efforts will be made to establish the Mobile Hatchery Learning Center and a live feed aquaculture system for juvenile fish, positioning Chaiyaburi as a model for future sustainable aquaculture projects.

In 2024, a total of 9 breeding cycles of white barb fish were carried out. Using 16 female white barb fish, a total of 1,075,100 fish larvae were produced. A portion of these larvae, totaling 90,000, was released into the Songkhram River as part of a natural restocking effort.
