- Comprehensive 27 page report concluded the following: $\overline{c}$
'At the current share price, we find CAQ to be an attractive investment opportunity with strong upside and limited downside risk'.
'As such we initiate coverage at a target price of \$0.25 per share'.

'Aquaculture is Growing Strongly - Fish supply from traditional fishing is dwindling, putting significant pressure on traditional fisheries. The macro-economic factors definitely favour the aquaculture industry with growth intensifying even further as aquaculture gradually replaces fishing.
'Superior Technology' - CAQ's hatchery and grow-out facilities are superior to other such systems in the industry.
'At it's current market capitalisation, CAQ appears considerably undervalued.
