Koo points instead to a different option: The waters around Palau are clear and warm, which makes them suited to aquaculture. So far, returns from the small-scale aquaculture of scallops have been decent. Koo cautions, however, that "if you want to invest, you have to go large-scale, because after all Palau is far from the main markets."
辜寬敏表示，帛琉的海水清澈溫暖，反而適合養殖類，目前該地的干貝小規模養殖成果不錯，「但如果要投資，還是得大規模進行，畢竟該地離市場太遠了」，他說。
