LAND AQUACULTURE SOLUTION

FISH INDUSTRY CHALLENGES

With the dwindling ocean shery supply and

increasing global population, aquaculture
raising sh in a controlled environment
bridges the gap between demand and supply.
The $140 billion seafood market is growing
by over 7% annually, with the aquaculture
segment accounting for about 50% of the
market, or $70 billion. Most aquaculture
production is sourced from ponds, lakes
and oceans, but ironically, the existing waterbased technologies are sorely inecient,

The Sea Dream proprietary indoor sh farm

solution is designed specically to operate on
land, leveraging and optimizing environmental
conditions with eective control over the entire
process. Based on pioneering industry principles
and techniques, Sea Dream oers a complete
ecosystem for high sustainability, employing
recycling and producing absolute minimal
waste, for near-zero environmental impact.
Sea Dream aquaculture projects can be built

close to target markets, minimizing

expensive and time-consuming product
transport, speeding time to market and
ensuring freshness. For each project, the
company strategically selects the most
suitable sh species based upon the
environment, market demand and other
factors. The Sea Dream approach to raising,
breeding and producing sh helps ensure
a high quality product at competitive prices.

primarily due to lack of control over high-impact

environmental conditions, such as temperature
and pollution, as well as the rate of disease in
open-water sheries.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) is encouraging new
technologies that combine ecological
and social sustainability with protability
to increase the global seafood supply.

THE SEA DREAM FISH FARM:

A MODEL IN EFFICIENCY & QUALITY

What makes the Sea Dream solution ideal?

Proven technology
The aquaculture technology that Sea Dream uses is considered to be the
most advanced in the industry and has been successful in multiple facilities
around the world.

Ideal ecosystem conditions

Sea Dream sh farms are strategically placed and designed to leverage the natural
environment. Water is typically sourced from deep pollution-free aquifers available
inexpensively for only the cost of pumping. The conservation-friendly shery returns clean,
ltered water, saves energy and minimizes pollution. All in all, Sea Dream farms boast nearzero environmental impact.

AQUATECH SEADEARM FLAGSHIP INITIATIVE

AquaTech Fisheries, currently under
development in Israels Negev Desert, is Sea
Dreams agship initiative. It is projected to
supply 2000 tons of sh annually to the local
and international market, for revenues of
$13 million.
The $20 million project is scheduled to
begin sh sales by the end of 2014.

DIFFERENTIATED BENEFITS

Through future expansions, AquaTech is expected

to grow to an annual 14,000-ton production capacity.
This translates to approximately $80 million in
revenue per year with 45% prot projected.
The desert is an ideal location for AquaTech,
with low cost/high availability land, warm
temperatures, intense sunlight and accessible
aquifers with salt water suitable for sh.

Synergistic business integration

By design, the Sea Dream ecosystem vertically integrates business centers within the farm
campus. The on-site sh production system enables the transfer of sh from the tanks and
harvest channels for immediate pre-rigor sh processing, at the peak of freshness and quality.
The setup incorporates a feed mill, sh rendering plant (processing by-products into shmeal
and sh oil), labs, waste nutrient recycling and bio-gas production for electric power. Overall,
this approach encourages reuse, both of materials and energy, while saving transportation
costs.

Sea Dream facilities hold 3 to 4 times more

sh per cubic meter of water versus ocean
net, cage or pond production.

The closed environment ensures zero loss

due to predators and bycatch and promotes
biosecurity while minimizing sh diseases.

Controlled water temperatures and optimal

oxygen and salt concentrations have proven
to accelerate sh growth dramatically, which
speeds time to market while minimizing costs.

The carefully engineered design that is

easily customized lowers building and
operational costs.

Water sources are relatively untouched,

providing a pollution-free environment for
sh to thrive in.

The protected environment enables yearround sh supply, with no seasonal dips.

What other solutions are there?

While other water and land-based initiatives exist, Sea Dream oers a major competitive
advantage. Eco-friendly design and the ability to leverage natural conditions while controlling
the environment make Sea Dreams sh farms highly cost-eective. Sea Dream is positioning
itself way out in front of aquaculture innovation.
