TAIWAN TILAPIA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. was established in May 2019, and its main members are the management team of the Kouhu Fisheries Production Cooperative. The newly established company primarily uses smart aquaculture technology to solve two major problems: first, extreme weather caused by global warming has put traditional aquaculture in a difficult position, where massive fish mortality leads to unstable yields; second, traditional aquaculture consumes a large amount of water, leading to the over-extraction of groundwater in the southwestern coastal areas of Taiwan, with Yunlin having the fastest rate of land subsidence in the entire country. In line with the government's promotion of green energy policies, the company has developed indoor aquaculture combined with solar photovoltaic technology. By installing solar panels above the aquaculture ponds, it not only generates electricity but also significantly reduces the ambient temperature of the ponds beneath the solar panels by approximately 5 to 7 degrees Celsius, effectively improving the survival rate of the fish and reducing mortality. The electricity generated by the solar panels is sufficient to power the peripheral equipment of the aquaculture ponds, and it can also produce surplus electricity for use in other areas that require power. This is an environmentally friendly, earth-loving, high-tech, carbon-free aquaculture technology, which has already obtained two invention patent certifications. Relying on its accumulated aquaculture experience, the team introduced foreign technologies and further modified and tested them to develop a set of "smart aquaculture technologies" tailored to Taiwan's time, space, geography, climate, and ecological environment. This technology conserves water resources, utilizes land more effectively, and optimizes personnel execution, thereby effectively solving the aforementioned problems. Furthermore, through smart aquaculture technology and a circular economy, the company aims to build Kouhu Township into a "Taiwan Tilapia Export Production Demonstration Zone," develop Yunlin into an export supply base for fishery products, and attract young people to return to their hometowns for employment, becoming a new generation of high-tech fish farmers.
