Earlier this year INVE Aquaculture is a global supplier of health and nutritional products for fish and shrimp hatcheries and farms, strengthened its technical expertise by adding Randall L. Aungst to its team of hatchery experts.

Aungst, like INVE, has been a true pioneer in the aquaculture industry. Starting in Panama in the early 70s as a top technician, he has designed, built and managed numerous successful shrimp hatcheries in both the Americas and Asia. Until recently, he was Managing Director of the aquaculture division for Nobleworld Consultants, Ltd. While working for Black Tiger Aquaculture, he helped renovate and manage a 220 hectare farm that was ceased in 1996 due to White Spot and turned it into a profit center, while simultaneously designing and managing the first SPF Monodon breeding program in Asia, which as of today has five generations.

Aungst will work as Global Technical Support Manager and take on a consulting role at shrimp hatcheries worldwide that use or plan on using INVE Aquaculture products. 

“Having worked in commercial hatcheries for nearly 40 years, I’ve always looked at INVE Aquaculture as a reliable, constant factor. Our industry wouldn’t be where it is today if it wasn’t for companies like INVE. I look forward to not only assisting our customers by offering advice and tackle certain bottle-necks they might be facing, but also to fully introduce the newly developed Best Balance concept, something I truly believe in,” Aungst said.
