Congrats man, Australia needs more people like the both of you.Keep up with your plan and I hope you reach your dream and even go beyond it. Well done mate.
Aussie of the year for me!! Hope we back him so he does not have to get finance from overses. As other here have written he is a true Aussie and an absolute legend.
Potentially, it doesn’t say what the feedstock is though, other aquaculture can actually be very resource intensive as the feedstock needed weighs more than the final animal product to be eaten. If they eat mangoes, apples, lemons or papaya then this truely is a closed loop system!
You don't understand the vastness of the ocean, its 2 and a half times bigger than all the land everywhere. But we just use ten metres of the surface, the ocean averages over 2 km deep. So it's bigger than all the land on earth by 2.5 x 200.
I really enjoyed watching this from an engineering and technology perspective. The prawn skimmer, Martin's invention must rely on numerous sensors and IoT devices that detect high protein levels in the water and extract them. Talk about sustainability, not just an inland aquaculture farm - even the by-products and waste materials are put to good use to fertilize the orchid. Great stuff! You and your son are Aussie legends Martin Zhang!!
Protein skimmers have been around for a hundred years but goog application. So your protein skimmer doesnt remove any salt because you can irrigate salt water?
Aquaponics with tiger prawns brilliant, but you;re gonna need land closer to brisbane to cut the oil out of your food and probably cut the dirt out of the food too.
The system seems silimlar to " fish & vegetable aquaponics" in which plants and prawns are beneficial to each other, however, it may needs extra inputting to balance the outputting and consuming.
Great interview and imagine the boon to the local town. Sustainable prawns with much larger density! Awrsome to see people thinking out the box, and his location looks very tranquil and plenty of room for expansion I myself have just started my aquaponic journey, there is alot to setup and initially do but the rewards are two and even 3 fold. Fish/yabbies to eat, plants you grow and the soluble raw fish waste for fruit trees!
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance- wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
if these industries are cash-rich and wise, maybe they should invest in Martin's idea or form a cooperative where like minded prawn farmers can group together to farm on a small scale like Martin but group together to obtain economies of scale to get the best price from the market and at the same time share best practise. The plus points would be more self-start farmers in employment, a boost to the economy in rural areas which are desperately in need of saving and through networking fewer travel miles from farm to consumer. If harnessed with appropriate solar and wind power micro-electricity generation, the energy required to run an aquaculture farm could be reduced to near zero, given that rural land in Australia is comparatively cheap and planning restrictions for solar and wind micro-generation systems would be less onerous. With regard to the mixed orchard, this is an excellent way to turn a waste product into a benefit, towards full circle farming I would jusmp at the chance to manage such a farm.
@@neilmckechnie6638 I was once going to change careers and even states to learn Aqua Culture then I learned how much Industry funds new thinking. In Australia the best ideas are often stolen after forcing the original idea holder out of the market. Have you been eating Kelp products lately, grown on shore of course. It was only two years of public release 5 years back.
I hope there is not so much salt in that fertiliser. That water did look brown and not all that clean. Prawn farming far from the sea is nothing new. Bangladesh one of the biggest producers of prawns in the world farms most of its prawns far from the sea.
Amazing. Australia needs to open it's door to all talented people from any background to come and realize their dreams in Australia. preferreably those who help to advance our economy and way of life. grant more visas to smart and talented people who wished to call Australia home. anyone who is PRO anything else other than our Australian free and democratic way of life should not be allowed into our country.
unfortunately wild prawns have sea water to live in and sea water contains all the elements, minerals that can never be replicated on a farm that recycles its water...... nice try.

Wishing Martin the very best! He's onto something!
Welcome to Australia mate! Bloody legend
BRILLIANT Thank you for having the courage to come to Australia and conclude you technical knowledge
What a bloody champion!!! We definitely need more people like him & his mates in Australia! They're one of the backbones of this country.
Great work Martin! With food shortages in the world, we need people like you!
What a Legend. This is why we are Australians! Yellow, Black or White. We innovate to make a difference!!! Good work boys love it!
Slowly becoming the most multicultural society on the planet
Aussie of the year for me!! Hope we back him so he does not have to get finance from overses. As other here have written he is a true Aussie and an absolute legend.
Your garden is like a little slice of paradise. 🌴
Great idea. If done on a mass scale, it would also allow ocean fish stocks to replenish from over-fishing.
Good point

Ban ocean fishing

Absolutely fantastic story.
What’s great inventions and courage to make it happen. Great work guys. !!!!
people like this man will save the planet not virtue signalling
or buying electric cars

Good you, Martin, wishing you and your family all the fortune in the world.
"Im an Aussie now, 95% Aussie..." that's a ripper statement...aquaponics 2.0l!
I wouldn't exactly describe the township of Esk as "outback" but this is pretty interesting just the same.
If it has a maccas is not the outback.
@@Robert-cu9bm lol that's a good scale to go off actually
All the best in your venture , and good luck to your family.
The protein skimmer has been around since the 50's in home aquarium use.
I love this guy. Brilliance!
Good luck Martin. I believe you're onto a winner!
Well done this is so good 👍
Brilliant innovation! Can Martin's work be followed anywhere on social media?
Regional Australia should embrace technology, innovation and skilled people to come to invest.
Good luck to him - The Australian dream!!!
Good work, I love their ambition 👍
Protein skimmers have been around for a hundred years but goog application. So your protein skimmer doesnt remove any salt because you can irrigate salt water?
Good luck guys and best wishes on your projects
Am aussie now! That's the spirit mate
Nice work Martin!!! Keep going!
It is good to see someone thinking outside the square. We can have seafood with polluting the ocean or waterways.
Lol nice try
Absolute beautiful work mate!
I'm happy too invest with you...
Hii sir am prawn framing technition i will help you
Best of luck Martin!!!
Beautiful great well done!!
Happy for him & his famers is successful, step by step.
Hardworking is deserve the final successful results after all ❤❤❤
Since when is 100km from an ocean considered the middle of Australia or the outback?
Since the generation of opinions are more important than facts.
This is actually revolutionary
Movin' to the country, Gonna eat me a lot of peaches.
Gonna fertilise my fruit trees, with some inland prawn faeces.

Great work 👍
Genius!
Good luck Martin 👍
Very cleaver man👍
Good luck to him!
Brilliant thinking
Congrats man🎉🎉🎉
Question is whether the price of the prawn is market friendly. The imported prawn could be much, much cheaper
Great. Great guys.
Brilliant
Wonderful Farming Tiger Prawns...😀
They look like brothers.
Man needs to make a bigger bbq cheers good stuff mate
Inspirational!
Brilliant 👍🏿
Great but 100ks from Brisbane isn't the outback
That is great we’ll done Martin
very cool
Well done!
Awesome 👍
Nice piece ABC, beats RN any day.
Mmmm prawns 😃🦐
Guess someone with your name would watch this prawn clip, bit different then grid sparta 😅
Where does Martin gets his salt water from?
How do we get in touch with Martin if we would like to know more or collaborate?
Hit up Smik Concreting from Prinzlau QLD they worked on the project.
I hope this works out out out goes big
Esk isn’t the outback lol. It’s about as green as you can get out there with rolling green hills.
Interesting idea but is it viable at a commercial scale?
wow,my dream job
Hi.. Am very much interested in learning this.. Could you please suggest me the way to approach him and spend some quality time..
These prawns are probably cleaner than wild prawns, and unlikely to have microplastics, chemicals and drugs in their flesh
Not sure that Esk is the outback, bit of a click bait video title.
its maintenance heavy nd requires constant energy consumption one black out or short circuit and all those prawns are dead
yum

What a shame I can't write my true feelings. Shame
Good on them, marron farming
nice documentey
Esk, outback 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Might be the outback to an ABC journalist...
Awesome
It’s bio floc technology it’s been around for years. Good stuff though trying to perfect it. Well done
she didnt even peel the prawn before she ate it has she ever eaten a prawn
A lot of vested interests will be trying to derail this one.
How much money is tied up in Northern Australia's Prawning fleet. Good luck.

aha, love to see this guy brought how we Chinese do farming in China to Down under. G'd on u
Looking for investors. He is a talker. How much would the prawns cost????
Why does everyone call them prawns in Australia? They are not prawns, they are shrimp.
Did you just eat that prawn with everything still on it
As opposed to free-range.
I hope there is not so much salt in that fertiliser. That water did look brown and not all that clean.
Prawn farming far from the sea is nothing new. Bangladesh one of the biggest producers of prawns in the world farms most of its prawns far from the sea.
Yes but do they use the waste water for agriculture or dump it in the nearest river or oceans.
She knows a lot but still continues to eat the prawn with shell and shitstick intact
Salt water huh nice

Well done, food matters :-). Drop by for a coffee in Darwin

Ellens sister from another mister down under.
It is really not that unbelievable... kinda overdramatic don't you think?
Australia’s desperate for money but this is a big mistake!
Is this a joke? Scared to eat prawns now!!!
why?
All good
These prawns are probably cleaner than wild prawns, and unlikely to have microplastics, chemicals and drugs in their flesh
