Japan's NTT Green and Food to build land-based fish farm/Japan
Japanese company NTT Green and Food, a subsidiary
of telecoms firm NTT Communications Corporation, has unveiled plans to
establish a land-based facility for raising trout and coho salmon in the city
of Kesennuma in Miyagi Prefecture.
The project will be undertaken by NTT Green and
Food in collaboration with the AquaBioTech Group (ABTG), a global environmental
consultancy headquartered in Malta.
Completion of the facility is scheduled for fiscal year 2026.
The new facility
will also feature recirculating aquaculture system technology. According to ABTG, it will have annual
production capacities of approximately 310 tons of market-size trout and 260
tons of intermediate-size coho salmon.
"Focusing on seafood production through
land-based aquaculture, we aim to contribute to regional revitalisation by
stimulating local industries," said YoshizakuKusumi, President and Chief
Executive Officer of NTT Green and Food.
ABTG CEO Shane A. Hunter meanwhile said that the
project is significant, "for the future of modern, intensive, and
sustainable aquaculture in Japan."Â
