Quality Marine Announces of Arrival of Aquacultured Royal Grammas
August 23, 2016 – Los Angeles – Quality Marine is proud to announce the arrival of Aquacultured Royal Grammas from the Batavia Coast Maritime Institute (BCMI) in Australia.

Because of the limited number of specimens, they will only be available to public aquariums and educational facilities at this time.  Royal Grammas represent just one of several species being aquacultured by BCMI, a campus of Durack Institute of Technology in Western Australia.ÂThe First Ever Aquacultured Yasha Gobies Announced
