Read our latest story from the combined fish and duckweed farm (IMTA) at Mt Lucas: "The return of the duckweed" at our website. www.ucc.ie/en/duckfeed/...
Duckweed is initially propagated in white protective circular frames floating on the channels at the fish farm in Mt Lucas. A wooden fence is surrounding the structures to keep the swans from decimating the duckweed at this vulnerable stage.
