  • One of the biggest innovations that has happened at BIOTA is the domestication of Bumphead Parrot fish (Bolbometopon muricatum) so they can be reared and raised in tanks.

    The Bumphead Parrottfish are an important species for maintaining ecological diversity and sand production on coral reefs . They occur in high numbers and are one of the most valuable food fish species available. They are a gentle an inquisitive species, which unfortunately makes them easy to catch, therefore leading to the decline of its numbers in some areas. In Aquaculture, one drawback has been the fact the fish reared in tanks or cages need to be fed wild caught fish. Tom was already growing coral in The Marshall Islands when he saw the potential to grow the Bumphead parrot fish, which eats coral. By putting these two farming practices together BIOTA can grow the Bumphead parrot fish born in captivity and feed them the coral grown and harvested at their facilities. It is a totally sustainable product that not only has the potential to be a valuable industry for island and nearshore communities, but can potentially restock reefs that have been depleted in this species through over-exploitation.
