Rising Tides: How Japan’s Oyster Grand Prix is Shaping the Future of the Industry
April 4, 2025SEAPA Lands in Korea for the First Time!

Exhibiting at the Busan International Seafood & Fisheries Expo (BISFE 2025), November 5 (Wed) – November 7 (Fri)
SEAPA will exhibit at the Busan International Seafood & Fisheries Expo (BISFE 2025), held at BEXCO, Busan, from Wednesday, November 5 to Friday, November 7.
Come and see our products at the exhibition booth!
- SEAPA: Foundational technology for single-seed oyster farming. Display of next-generation GTX baskets and the REVO flipping basket
- Industrial Plankton: Full automation of algae cultivation. Impressive demonstrations of the PBR1250L photobioreactor for microalgae and the SBR system for seaweed cultivation.
On November 7, SEAPA and Industrial Plankton will each hold a seminar at the exhibition venue. (Details will be announced on this website and the BISFE official site.)

GTX – The Next-Generation Basket
For almost 30 years, SEAPA has advanced alongside oyster farmers around the world. The new GTX basket is the culmination of that experience and knowledge.
By incorporating the revolutionary locking bar “spine”, the basket gains even greater strength. It also enables easy attachment of innovations such as REVO, and future systems under development will continue to evolve aquaculture infrastructure.
REVO – The Flipping Basket
REVO is built on the GTX “spine”, allowing the attachment of large, strong floats that make oyster drying easy.
- Strength: The GTX “spine” makes it possible to attach robust, large floats.
- Flexibility: Baskets, floats, and rope chassis can be quickly attached or detached with a simple handle operation. This allows automation of oyster handling at sea or the choice to perform work safely onshore using existing equipment.
- Stability: Large and durable floats prevent unintended flipping, stabilizing growth and rotation.

Industrial Plankton
Canadian Algae Cultivation Systems – Proven in Japan! Industrial Plankton’s photobioreactors (PBRs) are gaining traction in Japan, with solid sales achievements. Compact yet powerful, a PBR1250L can produce the equivalent of 15 x 5 ton batch-culture tanks of microalgae. Through automated continuous culture, it reduces labor, footprint, and operating costs while producing clean, high-density algae at scale. Shawn Glover, the company’s Chief Technology Officer, will be present at the booth in Japan with the standard PBR1250L unit, personally explaining its features and operation.
