Arroyo Aqua Farms                    Was organized in 1990 and located at the southern tip of Texas. Its year round semi--tropical climate is ideal for algae, fish and shrimp farming. Years of researches have determined that this site is the best Suited in the U.S. to consistently produce the very best quality aquaculture products.               Built adjacent to the Arroyo Colorado River, only four nautical miles upstream from the hyper saline Laguna Madre Bay, the mixture of a tidal salt wedge with the fresher water of the Arroyo Colorado gives AAF the preferred salinity for pond operations.The water is rich in algae, zooplankton and other nutrients crucial to optimum growth for healthy and tasty products.              We own more than 2,000 acres land for algae, fish and shrimp production which including 94 five- -acre ponds and 63 ten- -acre ponds, a 200-acre wetland for wastewater purification and a 40,800 sq ft greenhouses.
		Algae: The Next Biofuel        Algae + CO 2 = Biofuel        The Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, in studies done in the 1990s, found algae can produce more oil than soybeans or canola. Algae would be harvested and dried, then oil would be extracted through methods such as pressing. There is no waste because after the oil is removed, the cake-like substance that remains makes a high-quality livestock feed.        Sunny, frost-free days and warm temperatures make Arroyo City area an optimum one for algae farming. Algae can be produced on land not suitable for traditional agriculture, and do not impact fresh water resources, and can use ocean and wastewater.
