Our Work in Action
Case Study: Sustainable Barramundi Farm Development
Challenge: A leading aquaculture client needed to develop a new offshore barramundi farm in the Malacca Strait with minimal ecological impact and high operational efficiency, balancing yield with environmental responsibility.
Solution: Pelagic Pact designed an innovative, full-cycle aquaculture system with integrated waste management technologies and provided custom-fabricated, robust containment nets engineered for the challenging offshore conditions.
Result: Achieved a 20% increase in stock health, a 30% reduction in feed waste, and secured crucial environmental certifications.
Project: Full Vessel Outfitting for the 'Ocean Guardian'
Challenge: Modernize and retrofit an aging coastal trawler, the 'Ocean Guardian', to meet contemporary efficiency standards, enhance crew safety, and comply with new sustainable fishing regulations for deep-sea operations.
Solution: We installed advanced hydraulic systems, upgraded winches, custom-designed innovative trawl nets specifically optimized for targeted species, and provided comprehensive on-board marine conservation training to the entire crew.
Result: Achieved a significant 15% improvement in fuel efficiency and an industry-leading reduction in bycatch, ensuring compliance and profitability.
The minds behind our mission.
