Found 8 fish farm of which are 6 products that contribute to 44 lb/m2. Of annual production, they also offer a research and production development class called CENIAC (Centro Nacional de Investigación Acuícola), located in Papallacta. Of course population growth is generating jobs and lack of income which leads to the search for news sources and this particular case the optimization of current resources to help improve the quality of life for members of the community involved.
