IMPORTANT ANOUNCEMENT

( Our team and film crew have just returned from Texas )
Click above for 2009 Summary
The completion of our 16 year Freshwater Cod research program ( follow the
various links ) is making headline news within the industry and is even being
discussed amongst MP's from all parties. The various technological breakthroughs
we have achieved are a direct result of developing the worlds most advanced
freshwater system. Over the coming months many of these new innovations will be
available to the market place, not least of all the radical new Particle
Fractionator design ( protein skimmer ) that is many times more effective than
any other freshwater unit which is set to revolutionise filtration
efficiency across the industry from hatcheries to general lakes and ponds, even
small aquariums.
We have established the Ciren trademark and applied for patents including the
new lure that makes just about all others obsolete. A direct result of our
Neural Trigger program, the Ciren products will include not just the electrical
EMF lure but also the chemical triggers that were featured in the angling press
a short while ago. The enquiries following the article in the Angling Times were
overwhelming with approaches from bait manufacturers and individual anglers
trying to get their hands on the trigger formula. Having explained in response
that we had no intention of entering the bait market we can now reveal the true
reason we developed the species specific neural trigger technology. We intend to
use the triggers as anti-biotic delivery systems. Imagine being able to treat
whole lakes with anti-biotic/anti-viral drugs that target a given species and
being able to induce the take up whether the fish is actively feeding or not.
For the first time it will be financially viable to treat large expanses of
water without having to use impossible levels of chemical treatments . . . we'll
leave you to work out the implications.
As for the Freshwater Cod program we will now concentrate on research into
other species. We already know two other species that thrive in our system and
research is ongoing into others including Sea Bass and the incredible Bluefin
Tuna with many others on our list.
Sadly, at present, it looks as though much of this new technology is destined
to go outside the UK which, as always, has been slow to respond. There is some
hope however that we can remain in the UK as we are currently in talks with a
well known company that is a household name so there is still a faint chance
that we will be able to avoid the pressure to move to either France, Germany or
the USA where ample research funds and product advancement have been offered.
We'll keep you all informed as things progress. Having just expanded into the
unit adjoining our current one we have almost completed a new research tank
facility, some 100,000 litres, which should be on-line within the next few
months. With this commitment to our current location together with a research
investment in excess of £125k this year alone you would think that we would have
received some support from local agencies, Chamber of Commerce, etc etc but none
has ever been forthcoming. Considering the depressed state of such a rural area
and the international significance of our research program and I guess it would
be reasonable to expect some interest.
Not so however.
With offers coming in from several countries it is hardly surprising that so
many new innovations go abroad, only to be sold back to the UK at a higher
price. One day it could well be possible that you are eating fish from
production units in France etc when we could have produced sushi quality fish in
the UK and sold the fish to them instead. A familiar story ?
We have also contracted Second Mouse Media to film at six locations for us
this year to include Egypt and Mexico. We are excited to have this talented new
film production company on board for what promises to be a very challenging
series of fishing documentaries.
The addition of internet linked cameras that are monitored at another
location 24 hrs a day will enable us to study the fish behaviour in our tanks
from anywhere in the world so even when our main research team is away filming
we can maintain the continuity of our various programs.
With no loans, grants, or even an overdraft facility and with 97% of shares
retained within the company Diobas Ltd can now move forward at the pace it needs to complete an
exhausting 2009 schedule. At some point we may make available a limited share
issue and all enquiries regarding any of the above programs that will shortly be
in the market place should be emailed to our Managing Director via
md@diobas.com to arrange
preliminary discussions.
2009 brings together several of our unique programs some of which have
involved many years research and heavy investment.
Now it's time to reap the rewards and use the profits to drive
several new and innovative research programs into the future. Either here
in the UK or elsewhere, the technologies we have developed will take the whole
fish production and supply industry into the next stage of sustainability.
It's an exciting prospect.

ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF THIS SITE
From the advice given by so called Carp 'experts', which is often well
intended but usually very inaccurate, to the often deliberate misinformation
given by tackle and bait manufacturers, fishing magazines etc, all of which is
designed to catch anglers not fish. There are so many misconceptions that it is
high time that the truth about the various species was in the public domain. At
least then you will have the right information necessary to make your own
judgements. Fisheries policies, habitat requirements and fish behaviour are all
examined within the site and you may find the results surprising.
We have no product loyalties or sponsorships and no outside funding for our
projects from governments or private institutions. We do however utilise the
very latest technology at locations throughout the world to get our results.
From our groundbreaking research into Protex Neural Triggers, costing well over
£1.5m to our remarkable Freshwater Cod production units, we are at the very
leading edge of understanding both fish behaviour and habitat requirements for a
variety of species. 30 years of gathering data and experience together with help
from specimen hunters within the I.S.H.A group among many others has driven our
research way beyond anything achieved by the established bait and tackle
manufacturers or fishery owners. What is just as important is that we are
not involved in the general angling
industry ourselves, we do not
produce fishing products or manufacture any items designed to separate you from
your hard earned cash.
In other words we are in a unique position to dispel many of the myths that
surround fishing in general and offer accurate advice and opinions, whether the
industry likes it or not.
Our research budgets are entirely met from the income raised by our primary
business which is as fish behaviour and habitat consultants, plus of course the
profits from our research projects such as the Freshwater Cod Program and
several other projects worldwide that are currently underway including our video
and TV series to be released next year.
We believe both Diobas Ltd and this website are unique. Browse around
and feel free to contact us, if we can help we will.
Enjoy the site.

ABOUT US
Fear only regrets.
Whilst we are primarily a research based company we do offer a specialised
marine consultancy service for both Freshwater and Saltwater environments with a
worldwide operational capability. There is no excuse for any project to fail
through lack of expertise or greed as there is almost always a viable solution
and if there isn't then the project should never go ahead. One day many
politicians and business owners will wish they had done things differently,
especially as the damage they do will eventually hit their own profits as well
as cause irreversible damage to the worlds marine environment. We all make
mistakes but by using the very best experience and expertise available the
errors can be greatly reduced. We do not fear taking on any marine based project
however difficult and whatever the size anywhere in the world, nor do we turn
away from any field of research simply because it may be controversial. We have
no interest in following the pack or being popular within the industry, our only
concern is to ensure that any research or project we become involved with is
driven by solid data and ethics. There is no excuse to regret not taking the
proper advice. We all have a responsibility to the generations to come.
We have access to the best expertise available from
Marine Biologists to Fish Behaviour consultants, Geologists and Chemists.
If we do not have the specific expertise required for a project we know
exactly where to get it having established contacts at the top of their field
throughout the World.
Sensible, unemotional solutions based on long term projections that are
economically viable are always better for the fish we so passionately care about
than disorganised protest, however well intended. We have what we believe is a
unique approach to many of the problems facing fish of all species from the
rapid outbreak of SVC/KVC in the European Carp fisheries, which we predicted
many years ago but were ignored by both the UK Environment Agency and many
fishery owners, to the depletion of our ocean stocks, especially Cod. The
stupidity of general fisheries policies and the greed that drives many
freshwater venues is something that perhaps will never change but there is still
much we can all do.
We are proud of the fact that we have no product loyalties of any sort, we
have no allegiance to any governments or corporate bodies and always ensure that
any project we take on is both ethical and of benefit to the habitat that the
various species need in order to thrive.
It has always been possible to combine profit with a sensible approach to
protecting the fish we all rely on but sadly most companies say a great deal but
actually do very little, driven by profit but with neither the expertise or
conscience to significantly reduce or eradicate the damage they cause. Of course
every business needs profits to survive, as we do, but there is no excuse to
cause unnecessary damage through lack of expertise or forward planning, whether
it be a small lake excavation or a major multi-million dollar reservoir.
We use the latest technology and over 30 years experience to logically
analyse any fish related problem we are faced with, honestly and without
emotion. We also turn down far more clients than we take on as we prefer to
spend our time on research, as a result we have a substantial waiting list for
consultancy services but will always take the time to listen to any proposal or
request.
Our Freshwater Cod program, the research into neural triggers such as Protex
3a as well as our TV and Video production for instance costs millions of dollars
and we have to find the money to cope with such large budgets purely from
company profits as we have no other funding from grants, manufacturers,
governments or financial institutions so whilst we value our independence we
also have to face the financial realities that any business has to deal with
especially as we never know whether a particular line of research will ever lead
to a viable profit. The years of work have paid off however as we have made
significant breakthroughs that are quite breathtaking both in terms of future
income and the planets fast dwindling resources.
Personally I am very proud to be a part of Diobas Ltd, I sincerely believe in
our ethics, our profitability and above all our ability to combine logical
common sense with the fiscal realities of caring for our marine environment.
Don't regret not talking to us.
SM
