Preston Toole

Preston's unique and niche skill set, cultivated through his career in aquaculture biotechnology, positions him as the ideal candidate to support the growth of Provectus Algae and the broader Australian aquaculture biotechnology industry. His Master of Science in Aquaculture from James Cook University, focused on genomic selective breeding technologies, provided him with foundational expertise in biotech compounds, pigments, nutritional additives, and pharmaceutical applications. This knowledge directly complements Provectus Algae's business model and goals.

Preston's recent role with AquaMaof, a leader in Recirculating Aquaculture Technology (RAS), has further enhanced his technical and operational capabilities. Over three years, he contributed to AquaMaof's expansion from two project locations with a dozen employees to 16 projects employing 150 staff. His hands-on experience with RAS systems, including water treatment, effluent systems, gas delivery, and sensor monitoring, aligns closely with the demands of large-scale marine microalgae production, making him an invaluable asset to Provectus Algae.
