Aware of the opportunities that our country has to develop mariculture in two oceans is underway adaptation of technological packages in species with commercial potential to provide a new segment of the national aquaculture production .
Mariculture in Colombia is a viable alternative to improve marine resources and reasonable use of them , which involves fishing communities and must be consistent with the development of management policies which naturally decreases pressure on fishing . Our center is focused on research and adaptation of technology packages from different marine tropical species with aquaculture potential .
For the past eleven years we have done research in reproduction of mutton snapper and spotted rose snapper , producing red tilapia systems bio -floc high salinity, polyculture of Nile tilapia and shrimp, closed production cycle of cobia, and today we entered the adaptation of grouper and pompano in captivity.
