Hawaii Aquaculture and Aquaponics Association.
Center for
Tropical and Subtropical Aquaculture (CTSA)
CTSA, established in 186, is jointly administered by Oceanic
Institute and University of Hawaii. It is one of the five
United States Dept. of Agriculture regional aquaculture
centers, which fund and support aquaculture research,
development, demonstration and extension education to
enhance viable and profitable U.S. aquaculture. Unlike the
other centers, which work within a defined geographical
region, the CTSA “region” encompasses tropical and
subtropical species wherever they are cultured. Research
projects span the American Insular Pacific, using its
extensive resource base to meet the needs and concerns of
the tropical aquaculture industry.

worldwide has experienced explosive growth since the 1960’s
and there are many technology breakthroughs that make modern
aquaculture profitable and environmentally sustainable.
Hawaii’s aquaculture industry consists of Commercial
