At the beginning the survival rate was very low, even lower than when I attempted breeding the fish with my father in my youth. Later we found that right now the fishermen use toxic chemical to catch fish which made them unhealthy. This encouraged me even more to breed marine fish. Through experimentation and many trials; we have adjusted the environment, the way we feed and breed until eventual success. Pecula was the first specie that we successfully bred that is the reason we named our farm “Percula”. The farm is located on 2-rai plot of land in Samae-Sarn Village, 40 minutes from Pattaya, within a two-storey building to house broodstocks. At present we have approximately 500 pairs of broodstock.
         
         

Broodstocks Tank

 The farm consist of more than 1,500m2 of nursing compound for new born fish.
         

Hatching and Nursing Tank

  Another 800 m2 area to cultivate rotifer and microalgae.
         

  Using more than 30 years of experience, the farm was set up in the way to provide a natural environment, in order to make the fish feel as comfortable as possible in this habitat.
         
         

  Our farm has been operated for 4 years under a license from the Fishery Department. Currently we have more than 150 pairs of clownfish that produce eggs, among these, 100 pairs are Percula. Moreover more than 70% of the broodstock are our farm bred fish. At present we can produce at least 15,000 clownfish per month. In the past we bred a large number clownfish and donated more than 5,000 cartoon fish to Thai Royal Navy Base in Sataheep for release back into the sea. We also donated another lot of fish to the Fishery department. We helped Ban-Chong-Samae-Sarn School set up a course to teach clownfish bleeding in school and support the village people to breed clownfish under the One Tumbon One Product (OTOP) government sponsored program for rural economic development. The most important achievement is that we have signed a contract to cooperate with Burapha University in Chonburi to: 1) research and develop breeding methodology 2) allow students to work as trainees to help develop their skill in this area.
