Since then, four batches of postlarvae (2.3 millions) have been produced. Operating expenses cost was $13-35/thousands postlarvae. Based on the results obtained from the pilot program, we can project the cost of a commercial scale hatchery producing 10 million postlarvae/ year at $12/1,000. This includes construction and equipment costs. Due to the high cost of living in Tahiti, this figure would undoubtedly be lower in many other regions.
