According to reports on KTIV, the colony began fish farming about 15 months ago raising tilapia in 32 tanks.
The colony now raises about 390 tonnes of tilapia a year.
Colony members monitor the water closely for temperature and acid content.
If a storm knocks out the electricity, the colony members need to start up alternate power sources quickly to keep the water circulating and maintain the temperature, the KITV report says.
