RCT’s focus is the research and development of aquaculture technology. Bringing a species into commercial culture is a three-part process:

1. Experimentation to determine the correct nutritional and environmental conditions to complete the life cycle in captivity.
2. Developing a reliable method so that larger-scale production becomes possible.
3. Making the method cost-effective so that production becomes economical.

The company’s ultimate goal is to develop rearing methods for reef fish species of ecological and economic significance presently not farmed commercially.

RCT has developed specific culture protocols for the following marine ornamentals:

• Pygmy Angelfishes
• Clownfishes
• Forktail Blennies
• True Gobies
• Dottybacks
• Fairy Basslets
• Harelequin Shrimps
• Other Species

Aside from the pygmy angelfishes none of the above groups are presently being produced.
