The Alltech Coppens Aqua Centre in the Netherlands reopened its facility after an "extensive refurbishment," said the company.

The feed research center received more than €600,000 ($723,938) in investment. Coppens International is already collaborating with Brazilian fish feed producer Guabi.

“To date, our research center has enabled us to achieve global recognition for our recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), and the refurbishment will allow us to continue to build upon this and to expand our work into different species, such as saltwater fish," said Coppens CEO Patrick Charlton.
