Singapore barramundi farm Barramundi Asia has scaled up operations with a new SGD 2 million (€1.3 million/$1.5 million) extension to its nursery, reports The Straits Times.

With this extension, the farm expects to increase its fish production threefold to almost 1.8 million fish fry a year, bringing the farm's expected yield to 6,000 metric tons of fish yearly.

The nursery, located in the south of Singapore on Pulau Semakau, now has 1,200 square meters more space and the addition of eight giant 50 cubic meter tanks.
