CSAR is based in a new state-of-the-art facility to research methods of cultivating fish and shellfish under environmentally friendly conditions.

The Centre is forging ahead with revolutionary new approaches to fish and shellfish farming, focused on providing the highest standards of animal health and welfare, without risk to the natural environment.

It has established mutually benefical collaborations with industrial partners and its interaction with business continues to grow.

Established as a central element of the European Union and Welsh Assembly Government-funded Aquaculture Wales project, the Centre boasts a 750 square metre controlled environment facility providing a world-class platform for research on the sustainable aquaculture of practically any tropical or coldwater marine or freshwater fish or invertebrate.
