Roughly three years ago, investor Efraim Bason and Joseph Mizrahi recognized the growing need for sustainable, eco-friendly yet profitable aquaculture, so they met up with a few marine biologists from Hebrew University of Jerusalem and started a new fish farm... on Land!
Two years ago, the duo opened the Local Ocean fish farm for business in Hudson, NY. The fish farm is aimed at self-contained, self-cleaning and barely need any infusion of new water. 70% of water is recirculated and the rest is treated for other use. They rise royal dorado, white sea bass, European sea bass at the farm but are looking forward to the addition of summer flounder, black sea bass and himachi by next fall. To ensure that they are not affecting the nature order in any ways, the company obtain their hatchlings from hatcheries. They also use solar design to power lighting and heating, and with underground tanks, gravity to power pumps. Local Ocean fish farm provides sustainable, unpolluted and above all, an affordable price for fresh fish to Hudson area.
