A fishing method frees farm cages

from the sea floor.

Israeli Fishing:
Feed The World

BARRY CHAMISH

SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

The world is facing a food cata-
strophe as wild fish stocks dwin-
dle, in many cases, to near
extinction. The solution would
seem to be farming sea fish in-
stead of capturing them.
However, there are serious
disadvantages blocking the way.
Sea fish can only be raised in
quiet, shallow bays and their
refuse causes serious shore pol-
lution. Thus severe restrictions
are enforced. In Israel, for in-
stance, only a thousand tons of
fish a year may be raised in the
waters off Eilat because any
more would ruin the coral reef.
Further, only fish that inhabit
the surface can be farmed in
shallow bays. No method had
been discovered to farm deep-
water species such as cod.
An Israeli system developed
by Marine Industries and In-
vestments of Tel Aviv is designed
to free farm cages from the sea
floor and thus permit aquacul-
ture at any depth. The company
has been operating a fish farm
off the coast of Tel Aviv for the
past 18 months, literally in the
middle of nowhere.
The ingenious method has a
simple basis. Flotation is pro-
vided by pipes from which con-
ventional nets are suspended.
The system is stabilized by a
huge anchor with ballast capa-
bilities under the water. Float-
ing alongside the cages is an
operations center which hous-
es the controls of a hydraulic
winch. When the seas get rough
or if there is pollution in the wa-
ter, the winch lowers or raises
the cages to any practical depth.
A converted troller is located
at the mid-sea farm and requires
a crew of no more than four to
oversee the operation. During
harvesting periods, extra work-
ers come aboard.
In its first season of operation,
three cages grew 30 tons of
gilhead bream, results that du-
plicate those of inshore farms.
The capacity of one farm is
planned for 500 tons per year or
half the total production of all of
Israel's Red Sea aquaculture in-
dustry with no shore pollution

whatsoever.
