For several years, BIOTA has offered captive-bred Blue Hippo Tangs (Paracanthurus hepatus) in batches. After a five-year process and with the application of cutting-edge larval techniques developed by the Hawaii Pacific University – Oceanic Institute and BIOTA Hawaii, this species has been aquacultured at a commercial scale. This represents a pivotal breakthrough that will significantly aid the industry’s sustainability. This now means that, for the first time, retailers can carry both Nemo and Dory aquacultured consistently.
If you’re interested in purchasing one of these tang’s they’re available for purchase through BIOTA’s website here if you are not located in the United States you can find a BIOTA vendor here
