With land-based aquaculture doing its part to feed an ever-growing world populations, AquaMaof Aquaculture Technologies Ltd<\/a><\/u>., a world leader in Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) technology for intelligent land-based aquaculture, starts construction of a RAS facility in Japan for the production of Atlantic Salmon<\/a>. It’s a project commissioned by Proximar Seafood<\/a>. Located close to the iconic Mount Fuji, the facility is less than two hours trucking distance from the two largest cities in Japan, Tokyo and Yokohama. The first harvest is expected in 2024.<\/p>\n The new Proximar facility integrates the very latest advancements in AquaMaof\u2019s RAS technology. It also includes a hatchery, nursery, and full grow-out areas, as well as management, operational and processing zones. Construction follows the successful completion of the design stage, in which AquaMaof worked closely with the Proximar team since 2016.<\/p>\n \u201cWe would like to congratulate the Proximar team on a successful IPO,\u201d says David Hazut, CEO of AquaMaof. \u201cWe are pleased and honored to kick-off the construction stage and to continue to support the Proximar team on their visionary mission.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are excited with the commencement of the construction stage of our facility in Japan, together with AquaMaof as our technology partner for this project,\u201d says Joachim Nielsen, CEO of Proximar. \u201cWe appreciate their continued support and are confident that this stage will be carried out at the same level of proficiency that characterized the design stage.\u201d<\/p>\n AquaMaof\u2019s RAS technology provides an end-to-end solution for responsibly-farmed and harvested aquaculture, for various species. These industrial land-based aquaculture facilities enable the production of fresh, natural, high-quality fish and shellfish, at competitive prices. AquaMaof\u2019s technology also promotes sustainable practices. It\u2019s proprietary water-recycling techniques produce minimum discharge and require low power consumption. With no antibiotics or chemicals used in the farming process, AquaMaof\u2019s Integrated RAS technology enables year-round harvest.<\/p>\n The Proximar project is the latest of several projects currently under development by AquaMaof in Canada, Japan, Russia, Germany, France, Chile, US and more, with a combined capacity of more than 65,000 ton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AquaMaof Aquaculture Technologies Ltd., a world leader in Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) technology for intelligent land-based aquaculture, starts construction of a RAS facility in Japan for the production of Atlantic Salmon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6648,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[70],"tags":[67,282,281,140],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6647"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6647"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6647\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6650,"href":"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6647\/revisions\/6650"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seafood-harvest.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
