Auro Maritech

 

India enjoys a vast coastline of 7517* km and a mostly tropical climate, resulting in a rich variety of marine fauna, with certain species being exclusive to the Indian coast. India's exclusive economic zone, stretching 200 nautical miles (370 km) into the Indian Ocean, encompasses more than 2 million square kilometres, which provides a rich fishing ground and a sustainable supply for the marine industry.

 

Auro Maritech is one of the most prominent players in the Indian seafood industry, specializing in aquaculture. Auro Maritech owns and operates several prawn farms across southern India. Besides this the company, armed with technical proficiency, has also been providing aquaculture consultancy worldwide for more than 20 years.

In 1989, Maritech became the private sector protagonist in the commercialization of Shrimp Aquaculture in India. Starting as consultants for the establishment and operation of Shrimp Aquaculture Projects, Maritech today has to its credit, many projects successfully operating across India.

 

Maritech has played a key role in farming of various kinds of species including Marine Fin Fish (Asian Seabass), production of Soft Shell Crab and identifying the demand for value added products and services in the Aquaculture Sector.

 

In 1997, Maritech established the first ever Shrimp Health Diagnosis Laboratory in Chennai.  It was later upgraded to provide PCR based analysis. The biggest achievement came in the form of an ISO 9001:2000 accreditation that Maritech received in the year 2005. Maritech was also responsible for introducing Food Safety Systems & Solutions both at Aqua farming and Seafood Processing.

 

Auro Maritech believes in imparting its hard earned knowledge, for the betterment of marine industry. Apart from creating job opportunities, this also serves as a means of furthering the knowledge and investing for future advances in it. To realize this vision, Maritech in association with University of Madras, Zoology Department has signed an MOU to conduct Post Graduate Diploma Courses in Advanced Aquaculture and HACCP Certification (1 year Course).
