1. No bird expelling facilities: At our “Eco-fish” pond, you will not see any facilities that would hinder birds from foraging and staying at the pond
2. Extended low water level: Traditional fish-farming drains the pond for 4 to 7 days while harvesting. At our “Eco-fish” pond, we extend the low-water-level period to 14 days so that to benefit both migratory birds the fishpond itself.
3. Low-density fish farming: We adopt low-density fish farming in order to reduce the chances for diseases. Therefore, fish farmer do not need to use antibiotics or medicine during the rearing stage.
4. Polyculture methods: We use mixed fish farming in raising Grey Mullet, Grass Carp and Bighead Carp in order to make full use of the fishpond resources.
5. AFCD Accredited Fish Farm: Our “Eco-fish” pond is accredited by AFCD Accredited Fish Farm Scheme, to ensure that fishes raised are absolutely safe for consumption.
