- For
- Bêche-de-mer buyers and coastal aquaculture partners
- Worth noticing
- The page describes a 1:1 revenue split with Shehia Fishing Committees and says its hatchery and nursery facilities are under construction.
Field notes
The described workflow combines juveniles sourced from surrounding areas with hatchery-produced stock, then places them in protected seagrass grow-out areas. Asili says partner Shehia Fishing Committees manage the no-take zones, while the company provides inputs and market access under joint-venture terms. Its own hatchery and nursery facilities are described as under construction, so that part of the supply plan is not presented as an existing capability.
