The Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County-based DÉL-SZABOLCSI Bt. has upgraded its fish farming aquaculture with support from the Hungarian Fisheries Operational Program. The project involved technological and infrastructural developments that contribute to various aspects of fish farming. Established in 2005, DÉL-SZABOLCSI Bt. has been engaged in freshwater fish farming for nearly 20 years. The company operates two sites on both sides of the Tisza River: one near Tokaj at the Kovács Lake, and the other at Kovács Farm

A local family business, originally involved in growing paprika, decided to further develop the potential in thermal water. With the aim of exploiting the thermal water for an even longer period of time, an aquaculture farm was set up to breed African catfish.
