Seasonal astatic wetlands are unique and fragile ecosystems celebrated for their rich biodiversity. Unfortunately, these habitats are under threat from human activities such as land development and pollution, endangering many species with extinction. We are committed to the preservation and care of large Branchiopod species, including fairy shrimp, tadpole shrimp, and clam shrimp. Our goal is to create a comprehensive egg bank for all possible species, making them available for research, education, and recreational use by the public and various institutions. Our in-house breeding program plays a vital role in achieving these objectives by cultivating all our shrimp species internally, we maintain a sustainable and controlled growth. We believe our initiatives will aid in conserving these ecosystems and their species, allowing future generations to appreciate the beauty and diversity of Branchiopods.
