Hybrid Grouper

Farmed on land, in clean recirculated seawater, on Malaysia's east coast.

First harvest coming soon

Closed-loop marine RAS

Farmed on land.
Never in the open sea.

Our grouper grow in covered tanks of filtered seawater that is cleaned and reused, not dumped back into the ocean. Malaysia's grouper still mostly comes from open sea cages exposed to disease and weather. Ours doesn't.

Up to 99% of water reused. Negligible wastewater from production.
No antibiotics, chemicals or hormones. Biosecure tanks keep disease out.
Our own hatchery on site. Fry to harvest without touching wild stocks.

Why Cherating

We walked the coast
before we chose it.

Our team surveyed sites up and down the Peninsula, from Alor Setar and Bachok to Besut and Kuantan. Cherating stood out: seawater with the right salinity for grouper, strong logistics links and plenty of room to grow.
