Marine Finfish production of fish fries in Malaysia normally is carried out in Indoor Tank Hatchery  or Out Door Pond Mesocosm Hatchery

Fertilized eggs are released inside the tank or in the out door pond in which live feeds are supplied for about 30 days, the fish fries are then harvested. However the annual rainfall in  Malaysia) is ranged from 1500 mm to 2500 pm with an average of 120-200 mm per month and that resulted poor result .Rainwater is normally acidic in nature with zero salinity and low alkalinity.

From the production data of the many hatchery operators in Malaysia ,good results  are related to the good  climatic condition. During raining seasons , pond water contamination with  rainwater of  low salinity, low pH, low alkalinity  as well as  low temperature , poor live feed culture, and  with  soluble iron seepage from acid sulfate soil ,low performance is the consequence   .

Green House HDPE Liner Pond Mesocosm is the solution of the teething problems  of low survival in the hatchery production of marine finfish seed in Malaysia condition . Green House HDPE Liner Pond Mesocosm enhances good   salinity, alkalinity, pH , water temperature ,ample  live feed supply with no soluble iron contamination.
