Aquaculture Innovations found a new home at Urban Aquaponics in September 2021 with Neale who started his hobby system in his back yard a few years ago.  With determination, lots of mistakes and hard work he grew his system to a commercial Aquaponics system now housed in Gerardsville. 

Presenting the training since 2019 in the state of the art training centre, has become a new found passion with delegates booking from around Africa and the globe with some as far as Florida in the US.

To Measure is to Know, is synonymous with Aquaculture and Aquaponics with two disciplines working in collaboration with each other and Nature.

Thank you Leslie for giving us the opportunity.

Leslie Ter Morshuizen is synonymous with fish. As a child he raised tilapia in the dams on the farms in the neighbourhood as a source of pocket money. On completing school he spent a year commercial fishing prior to spending 6 years at Rhodes University where he obtained a MSc degree in Ichthyology and Provincial Colours for spearfishing. He managed an ornamental fish farm for 2 years, was the Production Manager of a national koi farming group for a further 2 years and then served as the Aquaculture & Research Director for an international eel farming company for a further 2 years. Leslie is currently self-employed as an Aquaculture Specialist.

In his private capacity, or in collaboration with Rhodes University or JLB Smith Institute of Ichthyology, the author has written several scientific, and a great number of popular publications. He has presented papers at conferences, presented proposals to State and Federal Ministers in Namibia, Nigeria, Madagascar, Mauritius & Mozambique, and has undertaken a substantial number of aquaculture and aquaponics consultancies. Since 2004 he has also been heavily involved in Aquaculture Training within the sub-region, and has erected fish farms in South Africa, Zambia and Angola.

Now in 2023 we have decided to join forces and work in Collaboration forming a like minded sevice driven team.
