SeaCAPS Ltd takes wing
The latest
developments in low cost, low impact phytoplankton production
systems.
SeaCAPS are world renowned for
their innovative approach to economical Continuous Algal Production
Systems. Technological advances developed over the past three
decades with these systems along with customised hatchery designs
have been installed at both fish and shellfish farms in 16 countries.
Their training programmes, consultancy and after-sales back up
service is most unique because it is supported by an exclusive
hands-on operation.
In 2000, Managing Director, John
Bayes, travelled over 35,000 miles to evaluate the industry's
need for top quality algal feeds. During that World tour he also
spoke at NSA 2000, Seattle and FRDC Hatchery Feeds Workshop in
Cairns, Queensland. What he learned along the way moved him to
set up a new company, Seasalter Continuous Algal Production Systems
Ltd ("SeaCAPS ") to fulfil the need for providing systems
and a consultancy service, not only for the more fortunate operators,
but in areas where "angels might fear to tread."
John and his co-partner Elaine
Kirkaldie assisted with the installation of an algae system in
Baja California, Mexico. A beautiful, if somewhat barren , internationally
recognised area of " Global Biosphere" where basic
utilities that most of us in the Western World take for granted
are non existent. Situated over 1000 km south of Ensenada, forward
planning is a watchword and that's where a low cost, low impact
system such as "SeaCAPS" comes into it's own. Hatchery
manager, Mark Venus, is running such an outdoor bag system at
Max Mar Marisco's bivalve hatchery. An activity totally in harmony
with the surrounding environment, it blends in well with the
rugged scenery overlooking the beautiful Laguna Manuela.
