  • The resulting flavor and texture of the prawns is unparalleled. Just peeled and sliced, eaten raw. It tastes so deeply oceanically sweet that it conjures up that magical first bite of your first aguachile. The texture? Creamy enough to almost be spread on toast.

      Thats awesome. I have a pool my family no longer uses as well as a smaller pool and an IBC. It looks kinda complicated to do at home but i sure would love to do it if i could.

    My favorite dish is buying live shrimp from China town supermarket, then just dump them in salted boiling water for a few mins and serve. It’s absolutely amazing taste, compared to the dead / frozen ones. Wish more places will sell live shrimp, like live lobsters.

    Mind blowing that that much shrimp is only 0.05% of what California consumes annually. I'd be curious to see what future iterations of this system look like and how much market share it can take up. Awesome video and company!

    • @josyannaleon
      @josyannaleon Před rokem +1

      It is not recommendable, you should at least have 1 ppt of salt in your water, in zero ppt shrimps won't grow, I work in a shrimp farm in Ecuador and having zero ppt of salt is really problematic.

    Anyone who thinks you can just put some fish in a tank and call it "aquaponics" are people that end up learning the hard way, because they don't step back and think before venture into it. You cannot just take fish and plants like it's 1+1 = 2. There's a depth of understanding required to make it all function properly but more importantly, profitably.

      I wonder if they're trying to grow the shrimp in freshwater and that's why they're stating that they're prawns, I've noticed a few different people are growing Pacific white leg shrimp in a salt mixture,

  • @detlefschmidt3927
    @detlefschmidt3927 Před 9 měsíci

    I'm always amazed that everyone always uses too much technology when setting up a farm - even an urban farm.
    There are high-rise buildings in the city; Cascade shapes work really well - but no one does it!
    Why does technology always have to determine everything?
    Or asked the other way around: why does it have to work and work only with technology?
    In nature, water flows constantly - and in most regions of the world, the movements of the sea - the tides - also determine what happens.
    Why can't an artificial system be like a natural inflow water system? Why doesn't anyone do it in such a way that they create a kind of - let's say - cascade: pool level steps that are staggered in height?
    Tanks have boundaries: they do not allow the migration of fish or, in your case, shrimps or mussels or crabs.
    Cascade pools enable migration through all installed pools: the water can flow and run down from the top step of the cascade, falling down - i.e. water movement, generating good running water itself.
    If you do it right - you won't have any problems with leftover food settling - nothing at all: the water will take everything with it.
    And your shrimp eat everything organic anyway.
    Downstairs you can use a special, technology-free, ancient option - using the water pressure you generate yourself - to transport the water back up: with a hydraulic ram that is completely maintenance-free and does not require any electrical power to operate.
    Of course you want to heat - maybe you have to: you can use the water falling down the cascade and let it flow through an impeller that generates electrical current.
    These are waterproof motors that do not require electricity but produce it themselves!
    I don't understand how you can create high construction costs, installation costs, maintenance costs yourself when the whole thing is quite simple and can easily be done!
    The problem is the cascade pools and a few million liters of water.
    I often like to watch films from the internet, compare: so far only the Asians have made technology-free systems in the way that we do open-air carp farming here in Germany. The Asians have heavy, non-permeable soils - you put a foil tent over there and you're done!
    Why do you have so much technology - so many pools - and why do you need so much space?
