Right around the time a barrel of oil was around $150 USD I stumbled upon an article from an "expert" saying that the solution to resolve hunger was to give more money to poor countries in order to buy more tractors and more agrochemicals! So wrong! Then a thought popped into mind: " Do something! No matter what! Anything is better than nothing! ". Mission: increasing awareness of hydroponics and aquaponics as key tools in fighting hunger around the world.

Hello everyone! How I got into hydroponics is a long story...let's just say that it involves a lot of tedious farm work as a child, unsuccessful 'dirt' gardens of my own and a near electrocution from a semi-submersible hydroponic pump. I've learned that hydroponic gardening is the only way to garden for me and I've been working at it for several years now. I've built ebb/flow, nft, Mittleider, wick and passive systems and I'm always on the lookout for the easiest and most efficient means of hydroponic gardening...If you have questions, I would be more than happy to answer them...
A Lifetime work of art.
That is what my pure gene lines mean to me.
EACH IMPROVEMENT OF ANY SELECTED CHARCTERISTIC GIVES ME ENORMOUS PERSONAL SATISFACTION .

I have spent over 40 year Breeding tilapia, improving tilapia gene lines creating Red tilapia, and improving yhe body form of "pennyfish" from 25% in 1963 to 50% in 2009.
I have pionered and installed high oxygen intensive aquaculture production systems.
We built the first u-tube used to control oxygen and co2 levels in aquaculture. We can dissolve up to 800 parts per million parts of water and thereby control oxygen levels in growing situations.
We have designed hatchery systems to produce thousand of pennyfish fingerlings a day using breeder cages.
We have helped to establish the production of over two billion pounds per year of our tilapia in over 50 locations in North America, Mexico, South America, Central America, Kenya Africa, and Saudi Aribea in the Middle east.
Our goal is to help people with the production of tilapia necessary to *feed everyone* in the world a well balanced nutritious* diet, and to restore the forest of the world.

I have a great respect for somebody that took the time to write more than 100 pages about his life, his tilapias adventure, how he discovered his mission in life. I read all of it! I am telling you...fascinating. If you are nterested in tilapias, Mike's site is simply a must! Rated 5, no question asked!
