• Create a Fish and Plant Production Systems within the City
• Existing Building Provides Advantages of Lower Capital Costs & Subsidies for Redevelopme
• Create a System that Produces Fish and Plants at Rates to meet our Market Demand
Goals for this Project
Take Unproductive Urban Structures and Make I Productive Again
Making Abandoned This
Into Productive This

Farm Operation: Starting Up the Plant Production
• Fish
production from the facility is expected to 23 – 28 mt p
year
The Link Between the Fish and Plants occurs at the Biofilter

• Easier water
quality monitoring and controls
• Higher
productivity/m2
• Labor cost for multiple crop
Operational Culture Density met the Design Criteria
Farm Operation: Close Proximity of Fish and Plants
