DIOBAS LTD, a marine research company based in the UK, claim to have found a completely new way to rear cod in a controlled, freshwater environment at any location in the world.

According to the press release on their website, the innovation will revolutionise production and harvest of cod and potentially other marine species such as sea bass and sturgeon.
By fully controlling the environment in which the cod are raised, including daylight sequences and and tide movements, healthy, parasite and disease free fish are produced with a growth rate three times faster than wild fish. DIOBAS note they are not seeking to grow and supply fish to the market, instead viewing themselves as technology providers.
The freshwater system can be operated in a variety of sizes, the smallest producing 100 plus tonnes of cod, with the initial crop harvestable within two years. The fully enclosed system produces virtually nil waste output, as bacterial content is absorbed by organisms present in a connected tank.
Could this be a solution to the worlds declining marine fishstocks?
