Since 1998 Walt Smith International has been
cultivating and exporting live coral and live rock
from their aquaculture program to the aquarium
industry worldwide.
In the beginning of the project the market was reluctant to
embrace these products preferring first choice to
wild harvest. Walt was persistent in the marketing
and production of these products and today they
consist of a little over 20% of their total export.
It is the goal of WSI to bring this trend upward over
the next five years to achieve a level of 50% market
share in total exports.
WSI is committed to coral farming and manufacture of
live rock for export and has pioneered this new
technology since 1998 when they started the first
commercial coral farm in the world.
Today there are 16 different countries and over 100 different
coral farms operating throughout the world based on
the example WSI has set to follow.
WSI has increased its employment level and specialized
skill training in Fiji and Tonga through their
aquaculture program.
The department of Fisheries and the Ministry of Environment
have embraced this project and offered their support
for the advances made by WSI In this
industry.
Thank you for taking the time to view this site
and for your continued support of Aquacultured
products.
