Hatchery Management

Complete Management from Broodstock to High-Quality PL

The hatchery is where aquaculture profitability is won or lost. A well-managed hatchery producing genetically robust, disease-free post-larvae (PL) is the single most critical determinant of grow-out farm performance. BKM's hatchery specialists bring world-class protocols to every aspect of broodstock management, maturation, spawning, larval rearing, and nursery operations.

BKM operates hatcheries under strict biosecurity protocols that prevent pathogen entry at every critical control point. Water quality parameters — salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, and ammonia — are monitored and controlled through automated systems backed by experienced human oversight. Our larval rearing protocols achieve survival rates consistently above industry benchmarks, reducing PL wastage and improving farm stocking predictability.
