A high-tech fish farm off Singapore's coast has come up with innovative methods to produce cleaner, healthier seafood. Using advanced technology like ozone machines and simulating ocean conditions, the farm achieves higher yields without antibiotics. Its founder Leow Ban Tat aims to expand his fish and farm technology, contributing to Singapore's food security goals.

I hope other countries can adopt this method.
But there is a slightly better method available
True innovator not only invent new things. Some of them uses existing technology and apply it to other industries. Such inspiring engineer! 🤩

It's important to note that the initial CAPEX may seem high, but it's a necessary investment to build a system that can operate in salt water for a sustained period of time. This system is designed to work for decades, just like an oil rig system. The long-term ROI of this project makes economic sense. This is not just a concept, but a proven technology. Once the filtration concept is refined, it can be moved onshore. Larger scale captive fish farms can be built on land adjacent to the sea, and seawater can be piped into those facilities for filtration, making the operation even more cost-effective. In addition, Singapore has been building and testing floating platform technology for decades, and their floating stage for national day events, which can withstand immense weight has been afloat for decades. Therefore, if Singapore combines their proven floating platform and fish farm technology, they could essentially build a food production island that is anchored to the seabed within their maritime borders. Potentially a multi-story integrated husbandry, fish farm, and vegetables farm can be build offshore, if those floating island can be enhanced to support additional weight.
Until the day when fish from these farms are way more than 50% cheaper than fish caught in the wild, I wouldn't keep my fingers crossed
It's a tough reality that fishing has become unsustainable due to the rapidly growing human population, the impact of climate change, and the increasing temperature of sea water. It's time we accept that relying on large-scale fish farms is the only way to give fish in the wild a chance to recover their numbers. As a species, we have only one planet to survive on, and it's our responsibility to ensure that future generations get to witness the beauty of these aquatic creatures. Although setting up high-tech fish farms might seem expensive at first, we must remember that economics of scale will come into play, and prices will eventually drop. It's a small price to pay for the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants.
Who bears the cost? The initial start up and day to day operations? Taxpayers??
I hope it works out well
Great tech. And I love the guy's attitude.
Very efficient, using modern biotechnology.
This technology could eventually help reduce overfishing of wild stocks, helping conservation efforts. The potential benefits to Singapore and the world appear immense.
I hope my country also adopts this method.
What a happy music! Now imagine the kind of music who would stick if it's the same but in China.
no antibiotics! yes!
Great fishing farm
0:01 can reuse ships to produce fish prawns other seafood 😊😊
This is amazing
Masha Allah
Nice
Antibiotics overuse causes bacterial strains to build resistance.
What about the fish price, can that go lower 🤔
As long as the supply meets the demand
Highly doubt so , even the Singapore grown salad are more expensive than import ,I could never understand this
@@franciswong8578well Singapore wages are higher then most countries
@franciswong8578 it is but normal for local products to be more expensive than imported products.
@@franciswong8578it's called risk diversification. Singapore rely on import too much. We can never predict the future 100%. What would happen if those countries that supply your food go fk up cuz of WW III? your people will also be fkd up.
that's why at least ur govt tried to push the advanced tech albeit expensive so much. to diverse the egg in different, new, baskets.
spending money to invest something new is so much better than feeding lazy unresponsible people with social welfare. yes it might fail due to maybe too much opex overbudget but that's normal. it's an investment after all, not wishing lamp that can guarantee 100% promising result. spore from what I observe also invested on other cool promising tech such as precision fermentation
patent it sir! thank you!
Well done….
His commitment to excellence sets a standard for others to aspire to in the field of technology. Bob garners respect from people all around the world.
Produce 20 times than traditional farm.
Thats alot.
Traditional farm should use this instead ( only works for sea shore area )
What for? Why should they do it when there is plenty of land. And what about the cost? This type of farming is not even sustainable without gov grants!!!
@@alexgibb8406 because the fish have more nutrients.
Produce 20 times than traditional means you saving 20 times of expense ( ex : worker, space maintenance, etc )
The lands can be used for something else a.k.a farming.
IT cant produce 20x more for the same area, fish need space to swim or it will get stress. then there water quality problem when overstock
3x or x4 is the reasonable expectation .
I breed fish i know these sort of issue
@@jetli740Isn't that the point of this rig ? The guy literally explained that he used ballast point filtration to treat water's quality, the rig also simulate water current to make the fish swim, so that concern is a moot point because these fishes are under controlled environment. Also, the way this rig is designed seem to scale vertically, meaning it is more space efficient than traditional farm, and less subjective to the change in environment that could potentially harm the entire fish stocks, so 20x times does seems plausible.
The only concern here is that this farm could end up like the nuclear power - extremely efficient but take decades to start generating profits. I can imagine it would take 10x more initial investment to build these kinds of farms, and the cost of maintaining them since now you also need a team of tech specialists to monitor the rig's operation.
@@vanlao6367 you never keep fish, you know nothing. all fish we keep are under control just like these farm. ask any aquarium owner what happen if you over stock fish by just x2 or x3 and see how they respond.
Farthermore to let bred fish into the ocean. Still fish is expensive food which quite easily could be affordable to everybody.
(
Besides if there were more and better restrictions on how to catch fish (i.e. by rod instead of nets)
Few small fishing societies not companies with ships which decide about selling prices; to have it more like sharing than selling/buying.

In India, we have Gobar fish farming. Very tasty, sarr 😋
Very delicious fish
This Kumar is self-confessed.
🤣🤣🤣
Okay ， 亞衫
Is there gobar fish in pagpag? ar sam
@@IndianStreetShittersPajeet 🇮🇳😋👍
Hii sir I can coming Ur company?
What about parasites?
They said the seawater entering the tanks is filtered, they may be using ozone water treatment to remove any pathogens including parasites.
@@physic3524 over crowded, increase stress, increase death
Bob's ability to create products that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing is truly remarkable. Bob garners respect from people all around the world.
Irl Minecraft farm
Meanwhile over in Malaysia, more police reports are lodged over the socks issue. Our politicians only deal with real issues. Small potato things like food security is 'meh'.
It's all set up to divert people's attention on big issues like falling currency
And Bak Kut Teh
No wonder 🇸🇬 Singapore is the most advance and richest country in South -East Asia. Even Hong Kong and Taiwan are behind Singapore.
not actually
Go big or go home
Hey autie , is raining la
'News' from 6 Dec 23, what's the point?
🤣🤣🤣
For you to keep up, Kumar 😜

@@misterbig9025 don’t know, might be folded
Ting tong! Me come fwom chana🇨🇳! Me wove dok 🐕 meat and bat soup wong time, howwa fow dowwa!
but this technology cost a lots to build and maintain for the amount of fish it produce.
Expensive fish is better than no fish at all when countries stop importing fish to us.
@@noproblematallmate you delusional, why would they stop sell to you? there 195 country you can buy from.
@@jetli740 i think you forgot about Malaysia banning export of chicken to Singapore without much notice.
Anything can happen especially when there is world disaster or war when food shortages spike.
@@noproblematallmate that 1 country, there another 194 country on this planet can sell you chicken as long as you got the $$. stop be ignorance.
@@jetli740 for you, ignorance is bliss. I can only explain it to you but you have to understand it yourself instead of living in denial.
Pity you so I'll give you another example. In a pandemic like Covid where shipments halt as borders are closed, where do you think food can get imported from? Covid was just an appetiser... There may easily be worse scenarios happening in future.
Even Indonesia halted palm oil export in 2022. Every other country were short on palm oil. Who would sell it to you? Your '194 other countries'?
Being partially self reliant is important for defence. You have to be knowledgeable and have some wisdom to understand this.
i wouldnt eat farmed fish unless have to.
India for anvabale
less people = less food need so go and dont eat :-D
China should replicate,so they can stop fishing from other countries territories.
China is the top farm fish way higher than any country
@@jetli740 And still not enough,if it is then there wouldnt any need to fish on other countries fishing grounds.
China sends thousands of fishing fleet all over the world
@@user-yw9eu4oq5e tell me which country dont send ship world wide to fish? ignorance
@@jetli740 oh,that s the only part of my comment you have read.
Glory to CPC, Glory to Xi, Glory to China!!
Stop talking about what the system can do, talk about what it has done in reality so far.
That's just a multi-storeyed kelong. Why do they say it like no one's thought about floating fish-farms before?
They're called kelong. They exist in South East Asia.
First world mentality.
This is a closed system. Kelongs are open systems. Closed systems do not require antibiotics unlike open systems where fish is exposed to the open sea. That’s why it is a high tech solution
@@johnlzr agreed. Not detracting from the achievement, I was commenting more on the way SCMP decided to frame the project, like no one thought of a floating fish farm before..
High tech farming has proven to fail again and again once the money dries up.
近日中國河南省開封府景區的包公祠，因一名女子在裡面跪地痛哭，畫面被一旁目擊遊客將隨手拍下並PO文分享至社群，結果掀起巨大迴響，許多滿腹委屈的中國民眾紛紛效仿該名女子，前往包公祠裡「跪地申冤」。眼見申冤民眾急速增加，當地政府火速下令封鎖包公祠，甚至包公像也遭連夜搬走，令許多來不及前往申冤的民眾撲空。
🤣🤣🤣
Did you get the new Fifa game through Fitgirl as you always do?
Great skill BTW (Copy-Past superpower) KummarMan .
Funny thing is even in the 70s till late 80s, Singapore had abundant seafood at very reasonable prices and a small percentage were also ecologically friendly, hand caught in many spots around the island. Only PAP knows what happened to deprive the majority of the ordinary citizens access to healthy seafood.
😂😂😂 so u wan to go back to being poor? Just go to Malaysia. It feels like u live in. 70 and 80 again
@@alexgibb8406 then you must love being exploited by capitalistic politicians to remain poor anyway.
@@alexgibb8406 Why the arrogant towards your neighbours?
The population then is 20% of the present.
The water got warmer, many fishes died, the ocean got depleted of fishes… that’s why fish became more expensive!
Singapore is a Flawed Democracy according to the democracy index, similar to Belgium n Israel. Hong Kong has slipped into Hybrid Regime heading towards Authoritarian.
