At this research and commercial farm, freshwater red tilapia (Oreochromis , spp.) is a major product, selling live for a premium price. Harvest size is 600 to 700 grams each, following a six month grow-out period. The senior manager reported, "Operation with AIRE-O2® aerators is quite good and reliable. We are able to sustain good densities of fish in the ponds."

The deputy manager also reported approximately "28 to 30 percent higher D.O. (dissolved oxygen) levels with the AIRE-O2® over the paddlewheel. Water quality has improved. The AIRE-O2® aerator has superior circulation and a more advanced technology that allows for safer maintenance and installation."
