IATH Island Aquaponics & Tilapia Hatchery
Supa Design
The design of our modular SUPA ( Small Unit for Production Aquaponics ) can be easily constructed in any landscape without sophisticated machinery.
Technological innovations that we have designed and trialed reduce and simplify the infrastructure and capital investment in production capacity. In short, this design reduces the setup and commissioning costs for the smallholder.
We have developed and are fine-tuning production procedures and protocols that can be easily transferred to the smallholder operator and their family. The ( SUPA ) unit is able to produce the annual requirement of fish and vegetables for a large family and enough further income from the sale of residual output, to cover the capital investment, running costs and depreciation. The unit is independent of grid energy supply, and consist of a prefabricated unit that is easily constructed and operated in areas with low logistic support capability.
The investment cost of the resulting unit is low enough to be viable for micro-finance funding schemes.
