The production yield depends on natural environment factors and production limitations both technology and knowledge in development until the present day has evolved in various technologies. Entering into the use of advanced biotechnology and genetic engineering technology to develop aquatic bloodstock, to increasing seed stock, improve the quality of survival rate, food nutrition development, biotechnology for aquatic health, food safety and water quality management and aquatic environment that related to Green Technology with ecological concern.

Prince of Songkla University, Surat Thani Campus was ready in term of infrastructure and facilities (Aquatic Biotechnology Institute, Shrimp Research and Development Center, Thung Sichai, Chaiya District, Surat Thani Province) and Expertised scientist in aquaculture, fishery resources, biotechnology, marine science, and marine and coastal resources management who exert in teaching and researching in the related fields.
