We are University of Hawai‘i graduate students and community members who are passionate about aquaculture, ensuring our reefs stay healthy while developing a Blue Economy in our islands.

What do we do?

What started as an idea for the University of Hawai‘i Venture Competition is now ready for market validation. 

Makai Aquatics seeks to connect passionate home aquarists with hatchery partners to increase the supply of Hawaiian reef fish eggs to raise. Aquarists get involved in conservation, hatcheries have more eggs to raise, and everyone makes extra cash along the way!
