AQUAMAOF KICKS OFF

AquaMaof kicks off a new RAS facility in France for the production of Atlantic Salmon. The 10K-ton facility in France – Commissioned by 8F Asset Management – boosts the combined capacity of AquaMaof projects under design and construction to more than 60K tons of Atlantic Salmon annual production.

AquaMaof Aquaculture Technologies Ltd., the world leader in Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) technology, is announcing the kickoff of a new RAS facility in France for the production of Atlantic Salmon, commissioned by 8F Asset Management Pte. Ltd.

The 10K-ton France facility is currently in the design stage, with first eggs to be put in the system by 2021 and first harvest expected by 2023. This new facility joins other under-development projects with a combined capacity of 60K tons of Atlantic Salmon annual production. AquaMaof is now working on facilities in Canada, US, Japan, Russia, central Europe, South East Asia, and Chile.

“We are excited to kick off this project that will integrate all the latest advancements in RAS technology. These projects will provide important local production capabilities to markets that today import the vast majority of their fish and seafood,” says Shai Silbermann, VP of Marketing & Sales at AquaMaof. “Today more than ever, the capabilities of maintaining a clean, bio-secured, disease-free environment in fish and seafood production, as well as enabling local production in a time of disrupted food production and international supply chain and transport, are much sought after. Governments, investors, and big retailers are seeking food-production technologies that promote food safety and local production capabilities.”

AquaMaof’s RAS technology provides a solution for responsibly-farmed and harvested aquaculture practices, for various aquaculture species. AquaMaof’s facilities are strategically located adjacent to large cities, which dramatically reduces transportation costs, and produce fresh, natural, and high-quality fish at competitive prices. AquaMaof promotes sustainable practices that include proprietary water-recycling techniques with minimum discharge and low power consumption. There are no antibiotics, or chemicals used in the farming process. AquaMaof’s Integrated RAS technology enables year-round harvest.
