Why can't all business have visions like this one, helping the environment and aiding conservation as well as making a profit. Let's hope it works, the world needs more ideas like this.
Here why 00:04
@@SaintNaveJapan had been researching this for 20 years
@@matthewbarrientos9016exactly,not all business want to get into that hassel for a very risky,high cost venture
Farmed fish isn’t natural and don’t have the same nutritional quality. It can actually be worse for you. Given we live in capitalism, the odds of you getting high quality farmed fish is extremely slim.
My favorite shot was the contrast of how the light bounced off the “Strictly No Cameras” sign. Amazing.
Put an Oculus Rift on their heads and have them think they are swimming for miles. Tuna matrix here we come!
The fish meat would probably taste like Chlorine and streaks of accumalated corn fat. Farm raised fish taste like tilapia
Not, he said eating his farmed salmon sandwich and farmed mussel and oyster buffet all of which taste much better than wild ones.
LOL, idiot.. Have you eaten a farm raised fish in your life?
Lol
This reminds me of Jurassic Park. The old guy is so proud lol
Yes indeed!

"So we try to restrict access to it so that's why none knows"
*Says Clear Seas Tuna Research Centre on the side and gives tour of entire facility to put on RUclips*
Not the commercially sensitive part OBVIOUSLY.
*so that’s why it’s no windows
I know I’m a year late but eh why not
@@gerry7860 i got turned on by ur comment for some reason
The same breakthroughs have been made in the ornamental fish trade also. Ie captive breeding tangs, gobies, blennys and the like instead of depleting the oceans stocks whereas several others, but mainly clownfish, (nemos) have been captive bred for years already. Great news for the Oceans Wildlife. 👏👏
@@tinabimmel2271 im pretty sure they are already doing it
On of the big goals, if they can get there is to be able to breed more fingerlings than they can farm.
These extras could maybe be released back into the wild to help rebuild natural populations.
Nope. The less wild tuna the better it sells. So like he said these men are businessmen. They couldn’t really give a fuck about tuna extinction in the wild.
Whoa, that's impressive, because I had no idea tuna was so difficult to breed.
Yellowfin tuna is gross, but easier to breed in captivity..
...which is probably why Yellowfin are Near Threatened and Bluefin are either Endangered or Critically Endangered.
They aren't difficult to breed if you leave them alone in the wild to do their thing. Most fish are difficult to breed in captivity except fish that are kept in the aquarium trade for many years and they become less picky about conditions needed.
John Burgess good luck telling people to leave wild populations of one of the tastiest fish alone. We need aquaculture operations like this to reinforce the natural populations of these fish. It’s like having a backup. After reading a few of your comments it seems like you simply don’t want these operations to work, and you dont even reply to people picking you apart. You been watching alexandra morton videos?
TheGamingKaiju 2003 can you clarify what you said please
Simon you should look at insect farming as a protein source for aqua culture - both for prawns and fish.
This is the key to making aqua culture viable at an enormous scale and removing the pressure on krill and other sources of fish meal which are currently being caught in the wild oceans. Can give you real insights on this for a program.
fish that eat other fish need all the nutrients and fats a fish has ,you whould have to supliment artificialy with other products if u give them insects
True
@@geog26BSF larvae is very high nutrition
Thank you sir
i really hope they succeed.
That’s all well and good and an amazing achievement. But the bottom line should be good water quality and a sustainable ecosystem for the planet. It’s not just the top of the food chain that’s in trouble. You have no food chain without the small critters. Taking food out of the oceans to feed captive bred tuna is perhaps just as bad as taking adults from the wild.
They eat anchovies I think they’ll be OK
@@Kim-zu1nl Don't be so sure, you know things are going wrong when people start harvesting krill from the oceans, one of the first links in the food chain.
@@Andysfishing they have harvested krill for the aquarium industry for decades i can literally go to the pet store and in the frozen fish food are large thin slabs of krill, bloodworms, daphnia ect.
@@SubiGoRacing just because it’s available doesn’t mean it’s sustainable. The north Atlantic’s fish stocks crashed in the 20th century and still haven’t recovered. You can bet that right before the crash fish were being harvested and sold abundantly in northeast North America.
The food stock can also be farmed and a lot of times is even with krill
This is wild I would love to see this in person!! I like the idea behind it all also.
"oh look they just changed the light Bob. I feel riiight at home. Soooo authentic"
Incredible work theyre doing thank you for this video
I’d love an update on how it’s going
multi millions on breeding tuna, pay me a tenner and a cig and I’ll do it in my bath tub
Bjorn Bjorn I can only imagine a full sized Tuna with no room to grow in our bathtub😂
A tenner like 1.75?
Bjorn Bjorn I heard your bath is full of jizz n floatin lumps of KY jelly. Not good at all for tuna.
David Webb the jizz makes the water thicker making it harder to swim meaning they think they are migrating thousands of miles, along with my state of the art lighting and heating system (radiator and lamp) this induces breeding behaviour
josh Garcia no mate over the pond us brits use the term “a tenner” to refer to a ten pound note
would like an update on how they're coming along!
Thanks
This makes me appreciate nature😊
That is an astonishing feat. The facility is impressive alone, then add in the fish they have in there!
farmed caviar taste better than the real thing. I don't see why farmed tuna wont. As long as they're not pumping too many antibiotics. Luckily tuna are pretty resilient so they won't need to
You never know....
Must have missed the "clean room environment". They are loaded with antibios and santizers to keep disease away from their captive population. Tuna isn't meant to be in a swimming pool. They are meant to cover vast distances.
Penning them up opens the door to all kinds of diseases and that takes sanitizers and antibios to keep in check.
Feeding them out weight the cost.Same goes to farming salmon,some farm are closing due to the cost of feeding them....Blue Fin ain't small and they eat 18 hours a day
they should not use antibiotics at all. the effect of antibiotics are dropping at an alarming rate. due use when not needed.
Does nobody spot the white worms hanging from the tuna
You want to save it, put a world wide commercial band for 5 years. In that 5 years you will be surprised at how many come back.
Bumble bee tuna, bumble bee tuna, and bumble bee tuna to you as well, sir.
"your balls are showing" bumble bee tuna
How is this even worth typing?
This is awesome, watch out for new farms popping up near you like this one, could be the breakthrough we need cor presefving wild fish stocks
Pure awesomeness on so many levels.
His comparison to the cattle industry is very interesting. He doesn't mention the negative aspects either. I'd like to know what resources have to go into a relatively small operation like this. Small in relation to the scale required in a few decades from now.
Amazing. Now the tuna has established a beach head. All they need now is to construct a breathing apparatus, then the lions would be tuna feed
If people can find a way to make Aquaculture and Aquaponics better, then both of those field can literally save the world from hunger. Fish are pretty much the only thing that you can grow in that extreme of densities because they stack on top of each other in the water column. On top of that, you're now providing an alternative source of fish to wild caught, which will in turn bring back wild populations. The reason that people have such negative connotations associated with aquaculture is because in the 70's/80's, a TON of anti-fish farming propaganda was released, and all the fish farmers thought it would blow over (so they never rebutted). Now, though, that we're learning how to raise fish better, the feed is getting better, etc. I don't understand why people still have these feelings. It's like people (like alexandra morton) don't want this to work, when it could do enormous good if perfected. Fish farms produce FAR less contamination than poultry, swine and beef farming. The Feed conversion rate in Fish farming is more effective than all of those aswell, and a lot of the "fish farms produce toxic fish" articles are either based on old evidence, or contain biased samples. I'll agree we have a ways to go before this is perfect, but in order to get there we need fish farms to be able to perform research and take some risks without the public trying to shut them down constantly, or treating all of them the same.
TheUnluckyFisherman you have a good point
Dion Simon thank you. I’m open to opposing opinions aswell
The same people who complain about “dirty farm raised fish” have no complaints eating disgusting factory farmed meat(beef/pork/chicken) and are apathetic to wiping out ocean species because the fish “taste better wild”.
perfect project want someone study the piology and behaviours of tuna fish
A great idea. I hope they are successful in tuna farming. Most of the salmon currently sold comes from salmon Farms and it's not wild caught in the ocean
Thanks for sharing
Good on ya guys
We love tuna here in Australia 👍😊 so this is a good news!! Go,Go guys!! Hope this isn’t for Exports only..
It's like aliens farming 15 billion of us so 10 billion of us could live peacefully on earth
The fish’s waste products can be harvested through de salinization (separated with a flocculant that doesn’t bind to salt or remove it from the solution, re diluted in fresh H2O and the flocculant released by electrolytic cathodic/anodic target material accumulation, and used as a hydroponic nitrogen source for plants
Also 3:16 you can see a fish slick on the surface of the water. When fish eat a lot they vomit a little. This guy must be feeding them a lot
Swell Times maybe that’s the reason they got so big. When I go fishing the biggest Tuna I got was 47 kgs
amazing work
This is great thank you for showing us
Did it work?
Strictly No Cameras
Camera man is savage
Does anyone else suddenly want sushi?
Finally mercury free tuna I hope
jamezz34 me too. I tip my beaver-fur hat 🎩 to you.
jamezz34 it’ll have minimal, but it’s raised in a closed environment so less garbage would get in
Hopefully, tired of being only able to eat two cans a week
Meecury free Or maybe more dangerous to eat,,,
Free the tuna. Raised to be kill. Go green!
Friendly reminder: the southern bluefin tuna is critically endangered. Austrailia fish this species of tuna, by the use of purse seine. However, they are not taken onboard but taken to huge tanks, as in the video, to be fattened up. The problem is that, besides that we still fish the southern bluefin, plenty of juvenile tuna is taken from the stock. The overall effect of this is at the moment not fully known.
I would be careful to say that a measure like this actually help the conservation of the bluefin tuna. A decrease in the amount of catch for a considerable time (5 years at least) is probably a much better alternative
pushing the water past the fish a few hours a day. It changes the chemistry of the muscle and ultimately the taste
Anyone else getting flashbacks of ace ventura
Fish farming makes total sense for many reasons.
*STRICTLY NO CAMERA*
Keeps capturing
2:53 "But at the moment they're all gonna die so I'm a miserable wreck."
Fantastic
Totally awesome...
Good job☺☺👍👍👍👍👍👍
Did they think of making another huge pool with another water temperature, bond with this one through a strong water current that make the tunas think they are traveling or something like that? As far as i think i know, they guide themselves through the electromagnetic fields of the earth, maybe they could recreate that aswell, and change the temperature of the original pool while they are in the tunnel for them to believe they actually changed of area
nice effort
Its not sad its cool!
The only problem I have with this is, how can you sell this as wild tuna?
Great work.
How are they doing right now?
Unfortunately, their first batch of juveniles died so now they breed Kingfish instead www.cleanseas.com.au/our-kingfish/
I think tuna farms are way to expensive at the moment but good luck, everyone likes some kind of tuna
I wish for the success.
Organic tuna..lol 😁
demeter tuna , biodynamic and grass fed
Free range
TEXASBOYZ 4069 if it’s wild it’s most likely organic, unless the government allowed some fucked genome fish get into the ocean
I would like to register myself for this tuna business
Keep up the great work 🌎👍🏼
some pretty gnarly anchor worms on some of those fish
amazing
Fist look amazing big tank and big fish
**strictly no cameras**
*got a whole documentation on the facility*
Wow! A not entirely propaganda piece from the BBC. Please continue.
That was cool
But the tunas have like magnetic stuff in their head right? Like an inbuilt compass. And also they will remember where they swim somehow.
Frozen_Pancakes that is why it is hard
They should have done track lighting to mimic the sun going across the sky.
I would believe this also circumvents the issue of there being so much mercury in commercially caught Tuna
But what are the negative effects of this? Sure, in theory this is a great solution but with other fish farms such as the ones in Norway and Canada they are facing massive problems with disease and parasites. What will make this aquaculture effort different?
Any good news after these years ?? Do they succeed and become the Game Changer ?? 🤔😏
Gonna make myself a tuna sandwitch now
Don't eat tuna more than once a year, especially women expecting to have babies. Mercury is too high.
That's not true haha. Yea it has mercury but so do a lot of things people eat. As long as you're not noshing on tuna constantly a little tuna now and then is fine.
John C Gibson are u a doctor or something
o0Sp3cia1K0o Your tuna sandwich came from hell
Lol your can tuna is not actual tuna. Look it up
I think this would work with tissue culturing, even if you can't produce the tuna in mass it can still provide stem cells for culturing.
Good idea.
What the current situation of this project? Is there anyway to contact with this researcher? If you have any please share with me...
Love the term Wild.... These fish are so wild in their natural habitat of the ocean... Lol
"Chunars" lol
respect to ,,the tuna mans,,...
A couple years back i would have thought this was impossible.
I thought the only place for a tuna was the ocean.
Unless i catch one from the ocean , then the only place for it is on the table with soy sauce and vinegar (Ahi)
We have a fish farm offshore called the enterprise
Any updates?
Ooo i want to jump in that tabk and give them a hug of course id take one of these fresh tuna
I would love to do this for smallmouth bass. They do not grow as large as tuna so would need to consume as much food over the life of the bass to create a pound of fish meat. But they are as good as tuna in my mind when fried. Feed them minnows grown on duckweed and enjoy the food.
1 fish is like 1 million dollars
Fabulous I am from Sri Lanka and would like to know more about this breeding process and eggs.
Great job. Breed them. The more the better.
didn't you see the 'no cameras' sign?!
how much for me to go fishing in that pool?!
brandon mckinstry haha those tuna would probably put a hole in the side of the tank if you hooked one.
RikkiTikkiTavi
Dude that could easily spool a saltiga in seconds. You’d need goliath grouper gear to even try to reel one of those in
MooshieGaming hahaha I don't think they really have 100s of yards to run it'd be pretty much shooting fish in a barrel hahaha
they couldnt spool a slatiga cauze they in a tank. a wild tuna that size would need heavier gear but these are too easy. they have not learned to swim in an oceam
Warning: Strictly no Camera hahaha
Taste is different than in the wild
Each government licensing ocean fishermen should have to pay for a facility like this. They would then put farm raised fingerling tuna back into the ocean to replenish the fish caught prior.
I really hope they get this done, wild bluefin tuna need a break.
Wow they are so chubby reminds me of seals or penguins
Finally abandoned shopping centers have a new purpose
As much as I can eat a whole fish to myself, those fins and shadows scare the daylights out of me.
Very odd title for this video. Breeding "Wild" Southern Bluefin Tuna in captivity?
can we get update on this tuna
