Salmon and Cod Aquaculture Complex to be Built in China

Hyperboy's post led me to this article. Click on link below to see futuristic fish farm facility. Appears to be multi-story.

CHINA - On the 21 October 2013, Norwegian companies Futurama and AquaOptima signed an agreement with Lim Shrimp Organization to create 'Aquapolis', the world's first land based fully intergrated salmon and cod farming facility in Hainan, China. Lucy Towers, TheFishSite Editor reports.

The aquaculture complex will cover the production of cod and salmon from egg to market size in a demonstration farm and smaller grow-out units will be run and managed by individual farmers.

The farming system will be an indoor temperature controlled recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), with multiple stack in one building, thus increasing the productivity and shortening the length of culture, Djames Lim, CEO of Lim Shrimp Organization, told TheFishSite.

Futurama and AquaOptima will be responsible for supplying
fingerlings to the farms and for selling the fish to market."

One interesting item of note

The first phase of the project is to build 70 hectares and the first trial unit is expected to be completed in six months time. Once the facility is proven successful, at least 100 units of each species will be built.
