About Us
Aquabanq is building America’s critical seafood infrastructure. We are a forward-integrated, land-based aquaculture holding company developing a national network of advanced indoor seafood production facilities (farms) to secure the domestic food supply.
Our mission is to produce safe, sustainable seafood of the highest caliber; hatched, raised, and harvested in the United States.
OUR VALUES
We are deeply committed to national food security, building the critical infrastructure required for a resilient domestic food supply.
We are serious about food safety, too, which is why the seafood we farm is non-GMO, free of antibiotics and growth hormones.
Our dedication to sustainability is comprehensive: By using zero-discharge RAS technology, we prevent farming effluent from entering the environment, effectively eliminating pollution. We also uphold stringent traceability standards and minimize the use of wild fish as feed ingredients. Furthermore, our proximity to the market dramatically reduces our carbon footprint.
We will make a significant impact on the local communities where we operate and play a meaningful role in fostering much-needed and long-lasting economic growth by sourcing our workforce locally and offering jobs which fit a wide range of skills and educational levels to prospective employees.
We will work hard to be recognized as a responsible employer that prioritizes employee engagement within the communities where we operate.
Our National Infrastructure
Our national network of land-based RAS facilities is being built close to major markets. This strategy provides a secure source of seafood with the smallest possible carbon footprint while eliminating entry points for parasites and diseases. Our goal is to meet the growing demand for locally sourced, safe, and healthy seafood.
Our Zero-Discharge RAS
The building blocks of our infrastructure are standardized Zero-Discharge RAS units for the production of shrimp and other warm-water species. The system is based on proven Israeli technology and functions as an environment-independent, closed-loop water treatment system that maintains marine life with an impressive 100% reutilization of water. That’s right! While all land-based RAS recirculate, reuse, and eventually discharge wastewater, no water leaves a Zero-Discharge RAS. This eliminates a lot of red tape and results in a significant reduction of capital and operating costs. Using a different approach than “BioFloc” systems, our systems provide a reliable, productive solution for raising cultivated shrimp in crystal-clear water.
We plan to continuously expand our product range to include multiple warm-water species.
