The cage(s) used here are Aquapods. Designed and built in Maine, Aquapods are secure, easy to use, adaptable to support the growth of different marine species, and scalable for different sizes of operations. A small Aquapod can be assembled and used by one or two people, and rolled by hand in and out of the water, whereas larger Aquapods require equipment such as cranes. For more information, look up Oceanfarmtech.
Neil Sims, his colleagues and partners, have pushed technology and research -driven insight to produce a sustainable supply of healthy, desirable fish with minimal imp lace on the environment without possible negative impact from its environment. In a word, amazing. With over a billion people securing their primary source of protein from seafood, sustainable mariculture methodology is the best known solution to feeding an ever hungry world without damaging our waters and its inhabitants.
I wish more companies would do more sustainable fishing and aquaculture. Hats off to you! You need to get your fish to sushi restaurants in California like Kabuki. I'd love to be able to try some of this!
This sounds like a great step forward. I am a little skeptical, but more optimistic about research like this. As all research is needed to see if the idea has any viability in the first place. And thanks to seasteading for covering it.
Also can you try this with tuna? I know that tuna have a different ecology with being carnivores and needing territory that's 200+ miles, but perhaps the Velella project might try to pursue research in how to sustainably culture and farm tuna? I think that might go a long way with providing a popular sushi staple too.
I would like some explanation around how the aquapod copes in bad weather, or more importantly how the fish cope in the aquapod in bad weather. With climate change a reality of the future and the expectation that with climate change comes more frequent and severe weather events - how do you prevent fish (and crew) mortality is such situations?
I´m from South America, and I´m deeply interested in this process,if you can tell where I can adquire the cages,please responds for this channel. Thank you.
Dear Myung Han .... more information is available at the Kampachi Farms website: Google Kampachi Farms Commercialization will require refinement of the engineering components - predicting eddies, reducing drag and remote command-and-control, but this is certainly under consideration. Please contact us through our website if you wish to discuss further.
Would like to know more about how these fish are fed (logistics, process.) Soybeans don't seem like a natural feed for fish, but maybe its ok to feed kampachi soybeans without any health concerns to consumers.
It's not the same. The Italians are basically capturing wild tuna and raising them in farms. They don't even let the tuna breed. Besides there's no brass on the metal cages so there's all sorts of algae and stuff growing on the stuff. It's not sustainable or even clean.
Growing GMO soybeans in Iowa (for example) and feeding that to fish in Hawaii, doesn't sound sustainable at all. I think a more sustainable option could be an Aquaponics system (hydroponics + fish = aquaponics). They have the capacity to be much more sustainable because you can have local aquaponic farms virtually anywhere. This cuts drastically on the transportation and shipping costs. Saving time, fuel, money, and freshness.

I think this a great and encouraging project! My question is how the adult fish will be transferred out of the cage?

Can anyone Explain to me, whats the diffreance between open and closed Mariculture?

Hello!
We have a UA-cam channel and would like to know if we could use some of your content from this video
Of course we'll give you a good credit for that which would give you hundreds even thousands of views bringing you more subscribers.
Please let me know if that is OK? Thank you!
Do you have a way to make sure aquapods do not fall into the hands of thieves and pirates?

100% for this.

Idk but id imagine it'd be pretty funny
