“SYNERGY BIOTECHNOLOGIES” a partnership firm had its genesis in the year 2002 with an intention to create awareness of sustainable and responsible aquaculture among the aquaculture farming community. It is led by its Managing Partner Dr. Narayana Swamy Allada, a PhD in Aquaculture who has been in this industry for a decade. He started his career in this industry as a Technical Manager in Pfizer food science, USA to technically assist their products under an Indian distributor. During his tenure at Pfizer ha had developed few formulations which have gained immense popularity with the farming community and have gained branded status in the industry.

Modern aquaculture is a new science through traditional in origin. All forms of food production like any other human activity affect the environment in one way or the other. In the complex and conflicting situation in which the resource management decisions have to be made, neither complete destruction of the natural environment nor complete avoidance of resource exploitation can be practical. A logical course would therefore be a balance between rational use, conservation and preservation in order to optimize man’s use of natural resources on a long time basis. Shrimp farms around the world are struggling to improve efficiency and reduce costs of production. Regulators continue to tighten standards for food safety, which require new management procedures.
