We
take great pleasure in updating you with the progress of our Freshwater
Rearing System
OROBORUS™, the world’s first self
contained re-circulating system for rearing Saltwater species, quite
remarkably in Freshwater, inland and any distance from the sea. Coupled with
our Patent applied for
Ciren®
EMF technology plus our revolutionary Particle
Fractionators and vegetable based feed, we are not surprised that the
Far East and its insatiable consumer demand for quality fish have been the
first to install our system. These units can operate without quotas and
without needlessly throwing dead fish back into the sea to avoid the wrath
of Brussels and many other misguided government bodies, their fines for
catching un-allocated species, and the ridiculous penalties incurred, when
the logic of allowing 5 kilometre nets to be legal must surely throw into
question the sanity of those who qualified for their jobs in the first
place.
Since going public during September 2009 with the results of our
revolutionary new technology that can be applied to both marine and
freshwater species, events have progressed at such an incredibly rapid rate
that we 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. Excitingly we have also progressed our research to include
shellfish with promising results. We have found a way to increase growth
rates with both Lobster and Crayfish .
. . more to follow!
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
OROBORUS™
production units are in the final
stages of construction in Singapore and will be
operational within the next
3 months.
Very
sadly, but not surprising given the current lack of vision by both the
incumbent government, hamstrung local authorities and the irrational desire
to give vast sums of money to bankers, we find that despite our best efforts
to try and retain this revolutionary technology and the benefits of
producing a relatively cheap, sustainable source of ‘fresh’ fish within the
UK, we have been met with the kind of blind response that has attributed to
many of the embarrassing and inexcusable explanations we will one day have
to give to our future generations as to why their forefathers made such a
mess of running our planet. Even our
MP’s, House of Lords, DEFRA and SEAFISH have shown little or no interest in
helping us to move this project forward despite the obvious potential of
bringing in foreign currency and the worldwide need for the sustainability
of our oceans. Perhaps however with an election looming and the need for
them to come out in daylight we may get someone calling us.
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, at least you can be sure that Singapore, Malaysia
and eventually China will benefit immensely having been the first Countries
to recognise 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 our 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.
Steve Marriot, Managing Director of DIOBAS said
“It is a fantastic achievement for all of us 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”.
Even
our closest neighbours 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. Being
recognised for our success is of course welcome however it is a pity that
our local MP has better things to occupy his time and will not be present,
perhaps being more concerned with tidying up his parliamentary expense
sheet.
It
is clear that the current method of using trawlers can never compete either
on price, supply or ethics and its time that modern technology turned the
very dangerous, heavily subsidised and often unproductive gathering of an
important food source into a safe and reliable industry. The financial
benefits are too obvious to ignore. The moral considerations of exploiting
to destruction what natural stocks we have left by employing ships and nets
when there is a viable alternative, we’ll leave to you, the reader to
justify.
Rearing fish with the OROBOROS™ system is
without doubt one of the most important steps forward we have had the
opportunity to take for many years in terms of ‘green’ issues. As for the
policies of the big players, governments, Waitrose, Tesco, Findus and the
others, all we can say is that making carrier bags an issue is, to say the
least, a little unimaginative but predictable given their quest for profit
and lack of understanding or genuine concern when it comes to really making
a difference to the planet we live on.
Perhaps it should be them that have to answer to our grandchildren . . . . .
. . . . it will be an
interesting conversation don’t you think?
