FAITT have sophisticated facilities of Microbiology Unit, Biochemistry Unit, Water Laboratory, Training Centre, Spirulina Cultivation Unit, Biofloc System and RAS Unit. Microbiology Unit is mainly focused on various aquatic diseases and diagnostics concept. The unit involved in identifying different pathogenic microbes including bacteria, virus, fungus, parasites, protozoan, etc., that create different aquatic diseases and infections in both fish and shrimp. This analysis helps the R&D to make disease control strategies in an eco-friendly manner against the variety of microbial infections. Biochemistry Unit is mainly focused to help the aqua farmers on analysing the nutritional qualities and quantities of feed and feed ingredients. Spirulina Cultivation Unit, Bio flocSystem and RAS Unit available in the FAITT to provide training to the individuals, not only based on theory, but also the individual get hands on demonstration.
About Us
Foundation for Aquaculture Innovations and Technology Transfer (FAITT) is a non-profit private Research and Development (R&D) Centre established in 2020 at Eluru, Andhra Pradesh, India to provide a focus for aquaculture research and development throughout the country as well as all over the world. In India, in the private sector, there are many aqua labs for water quality analysis and few focusing on basic microbiology work including bacterial colony count from infected fish or shrimp; apart from these concepts, no aqua labs are functioning. When, we are listing private R&D Centre throughout the country in the private sector which is specific for aquaculture is almost nil. However, in shrimp hatchery regions, selectively potential real-time PCR labs around the east coast belt of the country for screening the healthy status of the shrimp. So overall, considering the necessity and importance in such a potential food resource sector, FAITT has been established as a private R&D to initiate and fulfil the research and development related aquaculture issues.
Our Story
We believe that “human knowledge belongs to the world, and collaboration is better than competition”. FAITT have realized this say and understand the meaning of it; hence, FAITT was established by a group of eminent people in the aquaculture field who are expertise both academically and industrially. FAITT have also many tie-ups and industrial collaborations at nationally and internationally especially from Malaysia, South Korea, Israel, China, Germany and USA. The management, staff and technicians at FAITT are well qualified and highly educated and experienced in the field who understands the farmers problems and day today issues in the aquaculture industry. So, the team easily grasp and observe the problem and immediately focus on the R&D based easy, applicable and reliable solutions for the aqua industry. FAITT is completely function as a non-profit organisation to support the aqua farmers, technicians, entrepreneurs and stake holders on technology based.
Mission
Aquaculture is one of the important food resource sectors worldwide. It is a highly diverse activity involving food production, fisheries enhancement and fisheries stock restoration. Thus, it touches a wide array of scientific disciplines. The purpose of the Centre is to facilitate research and development and education and training across scientific disciplines, aqua farmers, technicians, stake holders and entrepreneurs.FAITT activities are completely aquaculture oriented involving several talents across the country and outside of the country
Vision
Enhance the human knowledge on eco-friendly aquaculture by education, training and demonstration. Development of novel innovative aquaculture technology in an eco-friendly manner to address the variety of culture issues.
