Ouroborus Freshwater System is now under construction in Singapore
Diobas has announced progress for its freshwater rearing system Ouroborus, self contained re-circulating system for rearing saltwater species in freshwater, inland and any distance from the sea. Coupled with their patent applied for Ciren EMF technology and vegetable based feed, the company said they are not surprised that the Far East and its insatiable consumer demand for quality fish have been the first to install our system.
Since going public during September 2009 with the results of their new technology that can be applied to both marine and freshwater species, events have progressed at such a rapid rate that the company said they have struggled to cope with demand. Further research is dramatically increasing the number of species that can be successfully reared in this system, which now includes Soon Hock, Arowana, Turbot, Bluefin Tuna and Giant Grouper. Research has also grown to include shellfish with promising results: growth rates have been shown to increase for both lobster and crayfish.
"The demand to implement our technology has been overwhelming with licensing agreements under negotiation with Germany, Denmark, USA, Canada, Malta, Cyprus and others, with Singapore, Malaysia and Ireland already secured. In addition, we can confirm that the world’s first Ouroborus production units are in the final stages of construction in Singapore and will be operational within the next three months", Steve Marriot, Managing Director of Diobas, said
"Whilst it is devastating to see the technology move from the UK as there is an inexhaustible demand for the product and very definite environmental benefits within Europe;you can be sure that Singapore, Malaysia and eventually China will benefit immensely having been the first countries to recognize the importance of our technology and how it will change the way fish are reared forever".
"The implications of this installation for Singapore, Malaysia and the Far East in general are huge. Here we have one of the world’s fastest growing populations and using the Ouroborous System will help to commercially and humanely rear fish to potentially feed millions of people whilst giving our seas the chance to recover".
The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) have been quick to recognise the potential and have set up meetings in Singapore with DIOBAS Directors in April to explore the installation of a series of production Units for rearing both marine and freshwater species to satisfy their insatiable demand for fish.
"It is a fantastic achievement for all of us at Diobas to see the results of our 16 year investment into this research finally establishing itself throughout the world. Over the next 18 months, in excess of 100 full scale production units are planned to be constructed, under license with the smallest unit yielding in excess of 75 tons of fish per annum at an attractive and sustainable market price. Our system will enable the production of fish as a valuable comparatively cheap source of protein in areas where food production is often impossible and, at long last, we are one step nearer to our vision where all fish are produced in a humane and carefully managed environment alongside processing plants situated where they are needed", Marriot said.
"Even our closest cousins across the water want to become involved. We have been invited to play host to a team of 20 French delegates who will visit our research facilities to see how they could use some of our innovative technologies to expand their businesses in this market sector".
