Core Business Activities

Specialization and USP

Arkrit’s Farm’s unique value proposition lies in its Three-Water Farming Methodology, a novel aquaculture technique where sea bass are raised successively in:

1. Freshwater tanks to reduce fishy odor and build immunity.
2. Brackish water ponds for acclimatization and muscle toning.
3. Saltwater environments for final growth and flavor enhancement.

This method yields sea bass with:

• Lower ammonia content and cleaner taste.
• Improved muscle density and mouthfeel.
• Extended shelf life and better adaptability to processing.

This production innovation has positioned Arkrit’s Farm as a pioneer of premium sea bass cultivation in Thailand.
