Product reviews

Shelleys kneed it. great stuff. Can be used with metal. I used it on my heater valve on the car to stop steam blowing out. It has worked great guns. I also use it on the inside of my cast iron pumps to repair wear and tear.

Paua farming

Paua farming is a difficult business. You can count the profitable paua farms in New zealand on one hand. not only do you have to compete with other paua farms but you also have to compete with our government who is also in the business.

Crayfish farming

Waipaua aquafarms Ltd is one of the only farms I know of in New Zealand currently farming crayfish. They farm crayfish in outdoor concrete tanks. You can order crayfish from waipaua as pets or for food items. Here are some of the photos of Cray transport and farming. In house improvements to the waipaua systems, have improved on survivorship, stocking densities and price per kilo of NIWA headed TechNZ research for land based parameters.
Some of the best research conducted on Jasus edwardsii is happening at TAFI.

I reccomend these guys. I have no financial affiliation with them. However I have been to see their facility and worked with their equipment in Bicheno tasmania. It works well.

Welcome

Welcome to DIY online diary. This diary is designed to help people into the business of aquaculture. My advise to anyone starting out is to start off with a pilot plant. Start small and use profits to expand. If you find it isn't profitable then give it a miss. Alternatively keep it to hobby level.
Please feel free to ask questions about aquaculture topics I have discussed. If you dont agree with anything I have said, feel free to drop me a few lines. chances are I might learn something.
