ficant achievements in breeding and food technology recently -- a top school official said yesterday, voicing hopes the discoveries can help boost the local industry. Speaking at a ceremony to highlight the achievements at the university in southern Taiwan's Pingtung County, the university's president Lin Hui-cheng said a research team led by Professor Weng Chin-ping recently figured out a way to increase the growth rate of oysters to as much as 1 to 2 cm per month.
Noting that the waters around Pingtung make it an ideal place for oyster breeding, Lin said he hopes the research team's achievement will help expand the local oyster industry.
Also, a team led by Professor Hu Hung-hsi scored several major successes in food technology research, including developing a highly nutritious seaweed grain as well as cobia-based soya sauce, the latter of which was developed through cooperation with a local breeding company, Lin said.
