Question

Advantages of mariculture

Answer 1

Advantages

The platform provides a complete solution for fish and sea farming in the open sea and has several major advantages:  

Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) - significantly low set-up investment while taking into account the growing capacity (approximately US$ 1.5M/1,000 ton a year) compared to other methods of fish farming (approximately US$ 10M/1,000 ton a year).

 

Operational Expenditure (OPEX) - efficient, economical and fast growth process that provides significantly low operational (ongoing) costs compared to other methods of fish farming.

 

Natural Quality - a healthier and tastier product (“free-range food”) with higher nutrition  values and better quality, which may be offered at a premium price (the sea currents and the low density eliminate the need to use additives and other substances, such as antibiotics and oxygen).



Various Species - due to its capabilities (size, modularity, versatility, survivability, open-sea environment etc.), the system can be located in any sea, and therefore enables natural breeding and  growing of various types of fish and other mariculture products.

 

Consistent Supply - the system’s high capacity and modularity will allow consistent distribution of fish, as well as catering specific purchasing orders in compliance with exact required batches (future contracts, tenders, etc.).

 

Additional Products & Sectors - the ability to grow additional sea farming products, such as various types of seaweed and algae, crustaceans and seafood, sea anemones as well as other products for various industries such as food, cosmetics, and medical/pharmaceutical purposes at a negligible additional cost.
