The Cell™ seafood growing system first commenced development early in 1997 when Perryman Leach (Cell Aqua Managing Director) identified ‘a massive window of opportunity’. His engineering background and extensive experience of intensive farming, led him to question if these tried and proven farming methods, could be replicated in the seafood industry.
Mr Leach commenced his intensive research and travelled the world extensively, researching and analysing leading aquaculture methods and systems, highlighting the main advantages and disadvantages of each. He was aware of the increasing pressures on the global seafood industry and the compounding environmental issues inherent with existing aquaculture. Mr Leach eventually concluded that there was immense opportunity if a system could be developed that was:
- low risk.
- low water usage.
- truly re-circulating.
- environmentally friendly.
- operationally economical in a controllable environment.
- able to be located anywhere in the world on the markets door-step.
- able to produce a consistently fresh, high end premium seafood product.
- operational in either fresh or salt water environments.
So began the development of what is now called the Cell™ system.
With all of the Cell™ objectives proven Cell Aquaculture Ltd now introduce this technology and the “Hatch to Dispatch” concept to the world market.
