Exploration into Feasibility studies on the effectiveness of a new 100% natural UK Made innovative water treatment (Aquatech) to improve shrimp yields, offering huge export opportunities to Asia

泰国的手工养鱼和生产在该国的社会经济发展和经济增长中发挥着重要作用，特别是在粮食安全和农村社区的可持续生计手段方面。泰国对虾产品的需求非常高(每年超过3000万泰铢)，而目前的生产水平比2011年下降了约50%。尽管这个国家的所有地区都有巨大的捐赠。此外，发展中国家，特别是非洲，我们计划在泰国成功试验后进一步开发这项技术，他们60%以上的蛋白质需求和供应需要来自新鲜水产品/产品，因为它们便宜、高度营养和负担得起(与其他畜产品相比)，特别是对于全国约90%的低收入和中等收入者，他们占泰国7000多万人口的90%。然而，需要更可持续和创新的、最重要的是100%的天然技术来处理和清洁养鱼所在的水，这阻碍了产量的增加，降低了鱼的质量，并对这些渔业社区的生计产生了不利影响。因此，我们希望探索一项早期-中期可行性研究，旨在为泰国手工养鱼相关的无数挑战提供具体的自然和负担得起的解决方案(该项目可以在那里展示)作为案例研究。Aquatech的研究首先将涉及与渔业部(DOF)的讨论，讨论在泰国最多六个地理区域的偏远渔业社区的选定地点测试和运行试验。我们需要制定方法来展示Aquatech概念的有效性和效率，以长期着眼于改善农村地区渔业社区的鱼类质量和增加商业产量。此外，如果对研究的探索得到资助并形成合作伙伴关系，可行性研究将因此改善我们对项目潜力的分析和评估，旨在支持后续和更大市场开发项目的决策过程。更重要的是，泰国Aquatech技术的开发、实施和商业化将为加强社区参与提供途径，增加水产品产量，并为妇女和年轻的渔妇创造平等的就业机会，从而改善农村社区的生计。

Artisanal fish farming and production in Thailand plays a major role in the socio-economic development and economic growth of the country, particularly in the areas of food security, and a sustainable means of livelihood and subsistence for rural communities.The demand for shrimp products is very high in Thailand (over 30million baht annually), whereas the current level of production is about 50% lower than 2011\. Despite the vast endowment in all the regions of the country. Moreover, developing countries, particularly in Africa where we would plan to further develop this technology after successful trials in Thailand, owes over 60% of their protein demand and supply needs to fresh fish produce/products because they are cheap, highly nutritional, and affordable (in comparison to other livestock products), especially for the low and middle-income earners across the country that constitute about 90% of the over 70 million population of Thailand. However, the need for more sustainable and innovative, and most importantly 100% natural technologies to treat and clean the water in which the fish are being farmed hampers increased production, deteriorates the quality of the fish, and adversely impacts the livelihood of these fishing communities.Accordingly, we would like to explore an early-mid stage feasibility study that will be aimed at providing specific natural and affordable solutions to some of the myriad challenges that are associated with artisanal fish farming in Thailand (where the project can be demonstrated) as a case study. The Aquatech study would first involve discussions with the Department of Fisheries (Dof) to discuss the testing and running of trials in selected locations in remote fishing communities in up to six geographical regions across Thailand. We need to formulate ways to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the Aquatech concept with a long-term view to improve fish quality and increase commercial production of the fishing communities in rural areas.Additionally, if the exploration into research is funded and the partnerships are formed, a Feasibility Study will therefore improve our analysis and evaluation of the project's potential, aimed at supporting the process of decision making for the subsequent and larger Market Development Project. More importantly, the development, implementation, and commercialization of the Aquatech technology in Thailand will provide avenues for enhanced communal engagement, as well as increase fish production outputs, and create equal employment opportunities for women and young fishwives that will lead to improved livelihoods in the rural communities.
