Welcome to The Primest and today’s video is about How Egypt is Sustainably Becoming the World’s largest fish producer.
In today's video, we're going to introduce How Egypt is Sustainably Becoming the World’s largest fish producer. Courtesy of a mega project that Egypt has planned, their fish production will exceed all past bounds. Enhanced food supply is also another aspect of this mega project. The fertile lands on the bank of the Nile only occupy around 5.5% of the total Egyptian territory, the yield is still enough to fulfill the food requirement of the country however, the equation is not so simple. The yield is also a net result of increased fertilizer usage which is a major cause of soil depletion. To cater to this issue, Egyptian authorities decided to diversify their food sources in the last century. The alternative they thought was the most feasible was enhancing their fish industry. Fish four large hatcheries, six fish farms, and five juvenile fish collection points were built.
Thus, in around ten odd years Egypt successfully diversified its food production. When there is a new business, it is natural that more job opportunities will pop up. Private fish farms on land leased from the state. The surplus production resulted in a price drop in domestic markets which made it affordable for even the poorest around. This suggests that the Egyptian nation will not face protein deficiency any time soon. You must have been wondering by now that Egypt has done an amazing job to enhance the production but astonishingly even after such a boost, Egypt was unable to fulfill its domestic fish needs until recently. The Egyptian government has decided to build the Al Fayrouz large-scale fish production complex which will be located 10 kilometers east of Port Saeed and 17.5 kilometers from the Mediterranean coast.
Technically, Al-Fayrouz is not within the confines of the African continent itself but outside of it since it plotted on the Mediterranean. President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi inaugurated himself inaugurated the Fayrouz Fish Farm. This farm will be the largest project of its kind in the Middle east. Not only will this enhance fish production but also it will add huge value to the development of the Suez Canal and the Sinai Peninsula because it entails industrial and urban settlements there.The National Company for Fisheries and Aquaculture, which is affiliated with the Armed Forces, right from the beginning, implemented this project in cooperation with the Suez Canal Authority.
In terms of job creation, this project will create 10,000 direct and many indirect jobs and will welcome people from different fields to work together. Thanks to this project, new technology like cage culture will be used for the first time in the country. Egypt’s National Company for Fisheries and Aquaculture will manage the project which has 5,908 fishponds covering more than 15,00 acres. Al-Fayrouz allows Egypt to export some of the farm’s produce across the Middle East. Before this project, Egypt has already made a mark by making the largest fish farm in Africa.
The new project is expected to boost the already 2 million tons of fish produced in that country by adding some 150 thousand tons. The country is thought to consume some 2.4 million tons and the goal is to make Egypt self-sufficient and large exporters of fish. This megaproject will address another major issue. Back in time, when Egyptian fishermen used to go out for a bigger catch, they often violated the maritime borders. The inherentneed to swim aroused due to the depletion of fish stock in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean and Red seas. Illegal and uncontrolled fishing often resulted in conflicts and aggression among the neighboring countries. The action of violating borders and fishing in another country’s waters was taken seriously offensive but farm .

Interesting! Thanks so much for watching looking forward to seeing you in the next video :)
Thanks 👍
Would be great to mention how such fishes get fed.
In many cases, fishes get fished, turned into dehydrated fish powder to feed crowded over-antibioticated culture fishes.
So as fascinating as this video is, it may actually hide an ecological and economical disaster.
“Huge” production site doesn’t go along well with quality in food production.
Soya too, and lots of vitamins and mineral , and antibiotics, anti fungus antiparasities Not sustainable at all.
Maybe they feed fish free shit from cario toilets
I detected no sustainability despite the title. Fish farms elsewhere are environmental disasters, and I fear this will kill off the stock of healthy mediterranean fish. Other places like Northern Europe where this is going on, have diet recommendations saying eat fish farm fish rarely, and wild fish nearby, no more than a couple of times a week.
pollution is highly sustainable

Such a bot account the guy ↥↥↥↥↥ made 2 comments without really saying anything
This video reminds me of high school when you waited until the night before the due date to start on a big research paper. You hastily collected a bunch of stats and them jammed them all together with a bunch of filler words, and presto you had a report that met the minimum word count! Ah, the good old days.
LOL thanks Interesting! Thanks so much for watching. Looking forward to seeing you in the next video and reading your tasty comments 😋
From Australia we have pristine waters in our southern coastlines. And from experience I can tell you that intensive fish farming really pollutes the water quality and then negatively affects the eco systems. If this is happening on a mega scale I really feel sorry for Egypts natural environment and eco systems.
These aren't fish farms in coastal waters bu rather ponds so very different scenario.
then die from hunger
Exactly !
Some, maybe many people don't think , that in order to grow anything living , from small to big enough to 'harvest', you must feed it a lot of food, and then you must figure out how to deal with the waste. Health specialists have warned to steer clear of most farm raised fish or other seafood. What is fed to them is very important to how 'healthy' the final product is to consume. And where does all that waste go to? Huge environmental problem unless the facility has it's own treatment system to reuse water and somehow filter all the waste out. Otherwise, as you said, wetlands and sensitive coastal areas will suffer. I'm thinking the Egyptians have environmental safety in mind. I hope. Peace. Tom from central NY, USA
@@tomyost6330 aquaculture in egypt started 4000 years ago btw (clay ponds). Nile tilapia is very tasty and healthy.
Wastewater is treated to produce organic fertilizer and the treated water is used for agriculture in the desert. Feed includes biomass that would otherwise be discarded as agricultural waste. Its a very efficient protein industry that doesnt require destroying forest land.
The most beneficial side of the mentioned project is providing more job opportunities. Grateful to those hard workers in our beloved counrty Egypt who always surpass our expectations under the leadership of an honest and dedicated person, Mr President Abdel Fattah El Sisi. God Bless Egypt and peace to the whole world. 🌿🌹🌿
Thanks for watching!
The above post signed: mr president Abdel Fattah El SiSi
yeah sure
shout out to our beloved bloody dictaor :')
This is not Sustainable farming!
The feed from the fish comes from mass harvesting of wild fish were they are ground up and made into pellets.
I think that is salmon you are thinking of. Kind of looked like there was some of that but even salmon can be fed a mix containing grains. The thing about fish is their very high conversion of feed to edible flesh. It's close to one to one. Some fish are actually fed by the algae that grows in their pond water. In India fish are grown in nutrient rich sewage water. The action of sunlight and algae growth serving to sanitize the water and the fish. In fact, this system could be used to remove nutrient waste from feeding other varieties of fish. If waste water, from fed fish, is directed to algae feeding fish ponds, pollution and disease could be controlled from these facilities. Don't know if this is being done, maybe a good question to ask about.
Utter rubbish and ignorance. Tilapia eat pellets made from soya not from fish. Get your facts right.
@@nickjames1892 soya: toxic crap. Tilapia: Frankenfish not suited even to my hogs.
It's amazing how a country like Egypt can produce food like this in the middle of the desert, while in California USA, we can't have a desalination plant to have fresh water... Some people will wait until the tap runs dry, before they do anything about it, then try to blame someone else for there mistake... It's like the old saying, that everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no body wants to die too get there!!! Sooner or later the State of California will have to make a decision on doing what's best for the whole in spite of the few!!!
An American lady from California living in Cambodia she is smart to have left her home country knowing well that it is broken and beyond repair.
Here is her story. ruclips.net/video/FtAw5-0hBAY/видео.html
Country like egypt LMAO man you better get humble, that country can close one route and put half of california on the streets
Desalination creates huge brine pollution problems.
There is a lot more that can be done with EXISTING water supplies if better managed.
Also, look into work being done to "recharge" the aquifers. I just read about it in "Wired" magazine.
@@veramae4098 But they have to use all that water to keep all those avocado trees alive to enable those Californians to keep eating their avocado toast for breakfast. Much more important than conserving water.
That's because California has been majority controlled by the Democrats for decades in every facets of local and state government. Keep voting for one party year in/year out and this is what you will get.
Disease is going to be a major factor in such closed water farm fishing practices. Its already a major issue in open water farms here in BC.
Its called fish plant bro..
The Mayan used floating rafts on their fish ponds to grow crops which were using nutrients from the fish waste in the pond. It can be done if the water of the fish pond is fresh water instead of salt water. (Or if salt tolerant crops are used).
No need to look back in history. The Chinese have been doing it continuously for millennia and you can still go to many parts to see it. It just goes to show how little westerners know China.
@@Zerpentsa6598 the Maya's descendants still do it today. This goes to show you how little some people know about the Americas.
Everything about this was valuable to me as I have seen this as the future for a long time now ..Well done Egypt !
Thank you MARK! Interesting! Thanks so much for watching. Looking forward to seeing you in the next video and reading your tasty comments 😋
surprised and happy for Egypt... had no idea this was going on
*I've got financial forecasts predicting 100% growth in the cancer industry. Seeing food production like this, I now know where that growth is going to come from.*
oh no Interesting! Thanks so much for watching. Looking forward to seeing you in the next video and reading your tasty comments 😋
Interesting talk of increased volume and lofty goals for the future, but I was very interested in the futuristic pond structures that were shown again and again. What do they do? How do they work? How efficient and effective are they? What kinds of fish do they produce? How can they be improved?
ye this video feels like an ad and this guy has no idea what hes talking about. Also im not so sure with sustainability if they use freshwater with how tight their water supply is. Not even talking about feeding the fish which most fish feed has fishmeal in it which is made by grinding up fish that were caught in the oceans so that much about stopping overfishing. but honestly i have no idea which fish they are going for and how and with what they feed them but i cant imagine that its as good as this guy says in this video.
Probably payed for by the egyptian government
@@resourceplaysgames6350 Glad people are analyzing things that matter, if someone is going to make such big claims and spend time editing a video about it they should have a few details that explain why it is sustainable.
The fish is Tilapia, a very hardy fish, easy to grow, feed stock is prolly bugs or insect larvae
I have read about the concept of the farms, they have like 3 ponds interconnected. In the first kind of ponds they raise fish species that get fed by regular fish fodder and they would regularly let in fresh water and let the waste water to the second type of ponds where they cultivate a second kind of fish that will feed from that waste water and in the third stage microorganisms and algae will clean up the water before it will be let out to the sea. There is an environmental study that states that the quality of outlet water is similar to the inlet water. I don't recall the details though and am writing from memory.
every single country should do this
No one should do this. It is an environmental disaster. Use the money to sterilize the Egyptians instead.
Other countries do it much better with competitive agriculture markets. Egypt can't feed itself and this isn't helping.
Egypt has been working on their irrigation system for 2000 years.
Is "a nation" an arrangement, or is "a nation" something which can ever be [precisely] 50% explored, and should we be able to stop thinking about ancient Egypt as an exploiter if it's currently a different year and ostensibly, people Other Than Us have already responded? ruclips.net/video/gLpSjZyc9cU/видео.html
Still ? 2000 years of re-building ?
@@thetigerstripes smh not every country is trying to be rich. Also that doesn’t mean every country has always worked with them either. Mixed with a large portion of the population to be poor and it’s hard to just thrive. Swap Americans with Egyptians… you’ll see how much more America would thrive. They just don’t have the same resources as us if you can’t tell. It’s not their fault🤣🤣
Isint it something like 6000 years?

Fish waste is a fabulous fertilizer for vegetables and fruits trees. Excellent achievement and reporting.
A company right hard by here, Seasoil, blends fish waste with chipped conifer bark and limb waste to make rich soil though it's a bit salty, contains long-lasting PCB's and some antibiotics...
It`s good to see that the Egyptian military are so forward looking to ensure the population is fed .
just fed, as compensation for all other rights they took off the population.
If Africa countries start applying these kind of innovations they will be surely world leaders in most of the sectors in coming years
Egypt is an African country
Egypt and rest of Africa is total different mentality of people
@@my93vr4 still Africa.
You don't want your government in the food business. They need an open market.
Sustainability, as OP touts, is contingent on the source of feed for the farmed fish. If they're fed on Peruvian anchovies rendered into fish meal: that can not be considered 'sustainable'.
The Pharahs always surprised us
Excellent and informative video. Thank you
Thanks so much Kamel hope you enjoyed I'll catch you in the next video see you soon :)
Thanks be to God! Much success to them in this endeavor.
It will fail if the government continues to run it without competition. You don't want your government in the food production business.
Love to see this African nation helping themselves! Way to go Egypt!
The government needs to get out of the food business.
@@marcv2648 - Wrong! The government getting into the food business means food for everyone! Private industry won't take care of the people! Private industry is concerned with making money ONLY!
@@Reality_TV You are truly ignorant. You have no understanding of economics or history. Please stop talking now.
Interesting. Please give quarterly updates. Also cover how CHina is turning deserts into forests ! Can Egypt do this !!!
@Angel of A Million Years. Well Angel Isriel has greened the deserts and produced abundant water as a result. Type it into your RUclips search bar.
It's good initiative for Egypt to set such mega projects to supply its protein needs and to stop cross border issues with its neighbors because Egypt fishermen had to go out to fish in other countrys territorial waters. The Asian countries who consumed millions of tons of fish every year must build such mega fish farms to supply their own people rather than creating cross boarder problems with countries in the Pacific Ocean.
Indeed. Sea in the fish cannot be continuously fished as they may be reduced. If we grow fish on fresh water on land, it helps to reduce fishing and good for the sea too.
Great news,,👏👏
I'm curious about the technical aspects to make this amazing plan work out. Is the water of each of those farms enclosed, or are there underground tunnels connecting them to the Mediterranean? How do they prevent the water from becoming hypersalinated from evaportation?
Wows, this is good news for Egypt and exports. Amazing.
It's run by the government as a subsidized monopoly. They won't be able to compete with market prices abroad. You don't want your government in the food production business.
We can see how rich people are in Egypt. They are swimming in gold. Favourite Pharaoh shows the world how mega kolkhoz prosper
Fantastic!!!!
All they need to do now is plant a bunch of coconut near the saltwater fishery ponds, and take the dead branches and coconut husk inland for mulching sand to grow other trees on drip irrigation.
If there are freshwater ponds, just plant fruit trees between.
It will help slow the desert wind.
I like it thanks for watching
👍make sure El Salvador 🇸🇻 gets what is needed
Great video! I like their "'can do" attitude.
Way to go Egypt! Very smart thinking to help your citizens get the food they need!
As ambitious a plan as it is.... unfortunately massive fish farming on this scale does not result in quality protein and is fraught with issues that have wide ranging implications for the environment.
Nice way to say this is a huge scam fraught with toxic issues and without merit. Birth control would be the solution.
Depends how it's done, but I admit, my excitement is tempered.
@@TheSwiftCreek2 Unfortunately from what I see this is far from sustainable or ecologically good for the protein produced or the environment. The issue of the feed needed to raise these fish is the first of many problems.... as is the handling of waste products.
I agree. Fish raised in artificial fish farms are not happy. Or clean. That's a mess.
Dude we are 110 million Egyptians + 6 million immigrants and refugees with 97% of our 1 million sq km country being desert. We don’t have the luxury to care about idealism or perfectionism we want to get things done fast and cheap.
They have the weather for raising fish fast unlike many other countries
Great job Egypt!
Such a rich history of fishing in Egypt though!
What's truly amazing is that all of those fish don't eat anything. They are placed in tanks of water in the middle of a desert and they magically grow into fish... They don't eat grain that's imported or that's grown with fertilizer that's imported. They just grow on sunshine and air. They are truly miraculous.
LOL.
💀💀💀💀🚪👈 that’s the door

@@promecio8085 Or just someome pointing out reality. Such massive food production projects are always ecological nightmares. Calling it "sustainable" is pure nonsense, as the energy alone that will be required to bring enough food to feed all those fish will be massive.
A sustainable project would be to integrate small fish farms near other farms and feed them with waste that's generated, or renaturalizing a lake to allow fish populations to grow. However, such things are not possible in a desert, and even less on such a big scale.
Fish farms are 100% needed today with close to 9 Billion people but everything does have a downside. Such as pesticides and antibiotics for fish being closely confined and the feed that at times is from other fish that populations can collapse from over harvest.
Everything will become more efficient in the future.
I have 17 lakes close to my mother's home. They were made by gravel excavation long time ago, now they are totally wild and beautiful ecosystem. Lakes are full of fish, especially carp and catfish.
Problem is people want to eat salmon ( artificially colored, full of antibiotics and pesticides) rather then eat carp which has same amount of omega 3 as wild salmon minus all the lead and mercury wild salmon accumulate in the flash.
And to feed them you need to grind billions of natural fish up to make fishmeal. Absolutely not a sustainable way of producing food
@@user-hk4sb8wu9f we have a lot of free invasive carp in the US. Come and get’em. I’ve never eaten one, but Chickens eat anything (even other chickens).
@@TamagoHead lol its not the same carp (this one does not jump out of water)
European (euroasian) carp is more like Koi , minus beautiful colors.
But that one in US could be used for first class animal feed and fertiliser , considering americans can't handle fish with bones.
@@user-hk4sb8wu9f Ah, being of Japanese descent, small bones are no problem. Eyeballs are a treat and the fish head makes for great stock after you simmer it
Just found out that China built and funded that mega fish farm. A perfect example of international co-operation in food security making logical sense. This Egyptian farm also exports crayfish and tillapia to China.
Not China the Egyptian army built it
Just another good reason to avoid buying Chinese anything!

Loved the video, loved the idea and the size of the farm.....But I have one concern, fish disease? How is this managed and how is the water in these tanks being filtrated? How long does it take the newborn Fry to reach matureity? All the same it is a great idea provided it can be managed without infection to the fish being farmed and the fish that live in the sea naturaly due to your water flow being circulated.
Excellent ✅✅
I hope that Ethiopia’s grand dam plan helps the region in the long run.
The Ethiopian dam will cause a major famine in Egypt, and for a long time or short, Egypt will bomb the Ethiopian dam
That only hurst Egypt. There are no free lunches, and you don't want your government running the food production.
This is the problem with the Philippines, which was surrounded by waters and we are ahead in agriculture in the 70s, we even established IRRI [intl. rice research institute] for neighboring countries learn from us... now we are still importing fish and agricultural commodities from these countries... wtf happen to us?? meanwhile Egypt's most of the land is covered by sand did pull the impossible.
I think when we are surrounded by water and plenty, we take what we have for granted. As for Egypt, necessity becomes the mother of invention. Either they innovate to create for food for themselves, they will have to live without.

This is what superpower country should be doing.
A superpower is only concerned with power and armament produxtion and maintaining iys military abd financial hegemoby over the worls; america, the West, Japan have long ago given up on the bottom 2/3 of their population, thus is why nations like china, India, Brazil, Egypt are developing fast and their people are enjoying a good living standard. If you ever visit egypt you will be amazed. People who left egypt 20 to 30 yeqrs ago for europe and america are returning to egypt. I live in loss angeles and the infrastructire is abysmal; Cairo and alexandria now have better roads than in most of america. Suicide and homocide rates are lower, less crime overall. Although egypt is still fighting terrorists and religious fanatics, it is overall safer than amwrica and the west.
Great insight, I really appreciate this @greenknight907
@@theprimest sorry for the misspelling, i tend to type too fast on my phone. I did appreciate the video. And was surprised all the positive comments. Although i did want to reply to any negative comments, they can all be summed up intovabout 5 things; antibiotic use. Waste and environment, taste of farms fiah, et cetra. Moat of these people dont realize that farm fish help out oceon wildlife because as we have already over fished the oxeons, the oceons need 50 yeard to replenidh thrmselves. Also, fish farming waste is used as fertilizer so you will produce less chemical fertilizer and less energy. The pond wvaporative waters also helps control desert humidity and mqkes it easier to grow food nearby. If sinai has enough water, it can be made into a bread basket. Egypt is spending $50 billion on desalination plants from 2015-2025.
Very good project
Terrible project. They need a competitive marketplace with lots of private players. Not the government feeding them.

Why would you want your government in the food production business?
Brilliant.
Wow
I would like to know how this project will deal with the fish poo. I am presuming that this is going to be a salt water pond system and not fresh water. For with possible threats to the flow of the Nile from upstream nations, the volume of water that will need to be diverted into the ponds will necessarily require that much be diverted from the delta where most of Egypt's Agriculture is located. In a freshwater system, one might hope for some sort of aquaponics system. But with salt water how is this to be accomplished? Is the fish waste to all be flushed into the Mediterranean? While the Med is a fairly large body of water, it is not the Atlantic/Pacific. Will there be increased risk of algal blooms? It would not be good if the Med and the Red Sea suddenly had to change names.
Actually that is a fresh water mega project, mainly it’s tilapia fish , but also there is salt water kinds too beside shrimp and if you wanna know how they will deal with the fish waste you can always google it or go to RUclips , and by the way aquaponic is on a large scale now , they just don’t announce it until it’s finished, like the mega fish project Egyptians themselves didn’t know that project existed until they opened it . By the way quality is done by the book . Thanks
Fish heads and poop is great for compost to make a great fertilizer now that there is a fertilizer shortage b/c ships from China don't get unloaded in US. Btw, Sahara will get tons of rain by 2030 due to climate change (Grand Solar MInimum) and will turn green. It will become a new bread basket. It will need fish fertilizer!!!

Thank you so much for the short documentary.
It is my hope that such a top priority food security initiative can find introduction in Lesotho. A memorandum of understanding between Lesotho and Egypt can be met on this fish farm initiative.
I have had consultations far and wide on this type of fish farm initiative for Lesotho and I have seen opportunities where few see.
It is my hope to take my country, Lesotho through this initiative to overcome food security matters and to set a new path of economic development of this kind.
Kind regards
I do not have much hope for fish farming on a large scale in Lesotho. Climate and geography is stacked against you. Fresh fish farming is possible but of a rather poor quality compared to sea fish. What fish food do you propose to use? A better option may be to use the climate you have for products that thrive in it (cherries, berries etc.) I understand that food security will not be solved this way but high value products can be sold and food bought with that money.
Farm raised fish. Yum
Great. Countries stop war and encourage farming. Best example Sri Lanka
Israel starts mining off lebanese ciast, Hizballah readies for a fight. Iranians send in the missles, israel cries to america for military aid, nixon send in the ebtire fleed of C-5 and C-17 transports laden with bombs
It would have been nice if you had explained how the Egyptians are doing this!
The most difficult handdle problems for open intensive fish farm is fish diseases. Nature will controll all fish farm production with his own way
This looks "sustainable" just like the mega chicken farms, chicken egg farms and cattle ranches in the US are sustainable. There are obviously some widely ranging definitions of what sustainable means.
Projetos semelhantes têm causado grandes impactos ambientais. Portanto é necessário avaliar corretamente, e sem paixões, os custos e os benefícios.
I wish the Phillippine Government will copy this fish project in the Phillippines
No you don't. You want market competitors producing food, not a low productivity inefficient government.

Very Good keep videos for 5mints only....U can say Real Depth/Gravity in 5 Mints*
I’m still haunted from watching seaspiracy on Netflix, everyone on this planet needs to watch that, and then decide for themselves, but I also appreciate people need to eat, but at least they not dragging 3 mile nets along the sea bed killing all in its path, lesser of two evils, and they trying to make a difference, more than most countries it would seem
agreed! Interesting! Thanks so much for watching. Looking forward to seeing you in the next video and reading your tasty comments 😋
Tilapia was once looked down upon based on the environment that the were raised in. Since Tuna is an apex predator (and the good fresh stuff is expensive), I view it as a treat with a high mercury content over my lifetime.

that is amazing.
No it's not. It's low productivity government boondoggle that gives the government control of food. Hands out jobs as political rewards. Destroys market competition for food production. This will drive up their food costs and scarcity over time.
Behind this project is the peace with Israel… long lasting peace yields better life for all
I love to eat fish, and would love to learn what the Egyptian grown fish eat. Thanks!
They eat other ocean trash fish and toxic soya products. Truly a disaster in the making.
I did not know that Egypt put in all that work to get ffffiiiisssssssshhh!!!!!!
Great video ! I am so happy to see this great success for Egypt ! Would Egypt also benefit from the Israeli innovation known as “drip irrigation” ? The Negev sprung to life with this clever system, so I wonder if what the possibilities could be in the vast Egyptian desert ?
they prefer dying in the desert than using occupation state innovation
@@Marwan-oj3lc Foolish, bitter attitudes guarantee poverty.
@@rebar59duffy84 better than using occupation filthy state innovation don’t you think?
I live in southern Chile, one of the leading salmon producers in the world. Here the salmon are hatched in clear melt-water from the Andes and grown in the estuaries and fjords. The salmon farms are made up of wire cages suspended in the fast flowing Humboldt Current along our west coast. I foresee some issues in the Egyptian project.
1: There are no clean melt-water in Egypt, so a filtration plant will be required. That requires energy.
2: The fish cages are inland, so water will have to be pumped into there cages. Lots of water. That is not impossible, but again will require lots of energy.
3: The fish poo will have to be cleaned out. How?
4: The temperature of the sea does not vary by much day or night, summer or winter. Those dams look rather shallow. How will this affect the fish? Salmon are easily stressed and then die off in large numbers.
5: What will the fish feed be based on? That will play a huge roll in the sustainability of the project.
6: Why is the Egyptian army involved in the project? Is this just another one of their scams?
Yes, this video was seriously short of information. Every system relies on inputs and produces waste, especially farms.
I typed a comment of my concernes after I watched the video, and here we are when you satisfied my concerns. Just to be clear, these farmed fish are saltwater fish, born and bread in saltwater. Salmon are spawned in fresh water rivers and when the Fry have matured they move out to sea, then at a breeding age they get back to the rivers of their birth to spawn again. That is about as far as I can go on the fish issues. Egypt is controlled by a military government and they have their fair share of corruption, but they have strict corruption laws that seems to keep things under control somewhat. It would be a top ranking general in charge of this project and usually it would be his Idea and he would have to produce to the country. I am a Scotsman living in England what do I know? I learn about other countries from RUclips
The Egyptian army controls nearly 77% of the Egyptian economy giving a hard shoulder to the private sector. they are trying to fix it now and include the private sector again as one of the IMF conditions to approve a new loan. so it is not a scam, just the way things are after the 2011 revolution. the army controls every aspect of life in Egypt without exaggeration.
1: water treatment plants are already in use, especially in the north Coast
2: fish cages are not inlands, in fact all of these fish farm are either inside of close to natural wetlands (there are 5 of those)
6: I really don't know why, it's literally the worst thing in the current regime, it reduces investments, lowers the hard currency reserve, paces the way for even more corruption. it's not just this project, literally any mega project is supervised and contracted by the military
@@cameronmcarthur9951 Corruption is so endemic in countries like Egypt that it is almost impossible to quantify or eliminate. I attach a link to a video that explains how the system in a corrupt military functions. It is not about Egypt, but it will probably have many similarities.

this way will soon become old too.... lab grown fish or any meat will be the future ... Egypt should try giving it a thought ... its an every changing world ... the sooner ones adapt to the change the better it is for both environment and its people ...
What an absolutely amazing, magnificent Project! The makers of the pyramids and tombs no doubt smile as they see such a staggering accomplishment! Bravo! Michael Weeks, A friend in San Antonio, Texas.
The pyramid makers would vomit on the criminals that foisted this fake feeding solution on the country.
Yes, but when you think about it, you shouldn't want your government in the food production business. They should sell it off and encourage market competition.
00:18 "Climactic" 😁 Did you mean "climatic"?
Very interesting. Egypt have desert's but exporting fish
It's a government boondoggle that won't won't be competitive in international markets. You don't want your government in the food business.
Ponds filled with sea water black plastic bottoms = heat = evaporation = clear drinking water
the hot water used in gas power generators + elect stored in batteries for L8tr use . Aussie guy 10 years ago realized this idea yet no one doing anything ?
The video sounds more like a commercial and did not explain the sustainability part, or I missed it. What is used to feed all these fish, and where does it come from?
The evaporation rate must be extremely high, where does all the water come from, and has this other effects, like e.g. lowering the flow rate of the river and causing unwanted sedimentation.
How is the water in the ponds processed, what happens to the waste?
Just asking because the video said sustainable but did not explain anything about it and this kind of blueprint mega projects are notorious for replacing one problem with another. The last one to just pump out water and to make the desert farmland sounded also very compelling but led to lowering the not regenerating groundwater reserves permanently and to further desertification / the loss of oasis if I remember correctly.
you had a viideo with cod fish (gaddus) being cleaned....in egypt?
