The Fish Farm

The Fish Farm is a patented micro-intensive fish farm designed within the confines of a 12-metre shipping container, delivering 2-4 tons of tilapia (or other species) annually. By placing a series of tanks, filters and pumps inside a container, the product immediately delivers a commercially-viable, lockable, transportable, profitable, affordable and replicable aquaculture business into poor urban or rural communities not only in South Africa. Technical complexity can vary in the design with the basics remaining the same, however it can add on features as necessary, depending on local technical skills and facilities. The Fish Farm is a simple and environmentally compatible way of ensuring food security, creating jobs and generating profits.
