How this mega-project will make Egypt the continent's largest fish producer 

Attempt is failure

Failure is bias@@samaeltheangelofdeath

Egypt produces two million tons of fish annually. Very cool work

problems are: fish pellet/food, where does the fish food come from, its wheat. unless, we also use the sea to farm seaweed. seaweed is the future, it can be food for every thing (human, cow, fish, etc...) it's also a great fertilizer, and the most important thing is that seaweed captured 10time more carbon than trees

News flash, most fish are mislabeled. Probably your buying vietnamese fish.

As me as Egyptian your words touch my heart

Sorry bt fish is the most mislabeled food item in the world.

@@frankk1187 No is not from Vietnam or Thailand Tilapia or mislabeled. I am a Ghanaian and I know the taste of the Tilapia. The label stated is from River Nile, believe me yes! If you live Toronto, Canada I will direct you where to buy it from.

@@yaheya8034 I really thank you Egyptian government that she helped that project. The Tilapia I have been eating since passed two months and even today's dinner is not from Vietnam or Thailand Tilapia or mislabeled. I am a Ghanaian and I know the taste of Tilapia. The label stated is from River Nile, Egypt believes me yes! If you live in Toronto, Canada I will direct you where to buy it from and taste Egyptian Tilapia.

It's not like this project was imagined as a welfare, don't be naïve. Someone's making a lot of money.

@@tesha199 of course !!! And that could be you too if you have an idea for a project , in the meantime people are being fed , living better and the country itself being self sufficent .

@@billwilliams9362 I'm doing my part

@@tesha199 well done

China built this facility. It's astonishing this was never mentioned.

Egypt is trying to help Africa, but Africa hates Egypt for no reason

We are trying to do this, but ethnic conflicts and poverty do not give an opportunity for a price with many projects in Djibouti, Tanzania, Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan.

@@ramsses5175 I think it deeply rooted for thousands of years. I mean, despite being a part of the African continent, Egyptians are unique. They're closer to the Mediterranean (later with a mix of Caucasians and Arabs) than the rest of the many African tribes. I guess, being isolated by the desert for thousands of years can make you focus on thinking of survivability and thus creating a more modern society than the rest. Also, they're lucky that they have that tiny itty bitty land bridge that connects them to the rest of the Eurasian continent thus making trading a lot easier. This is where "the hates" come from because of jealousy because Egyptians were and are able to thrive despite not having a single bit of lush and rich forest.

@@freedom4651 i don't know whether or not it's bcs of jelousy, but Mediterranean connection are correct from i remember. romans value egpyt not just bcs it's fertile land but also it's sitting in between Mediterranean and The red sea and red sea is connected to indian ocean which connect Egypt further with silk road trade in later medieval era. source:dude trust me

Really?...Who would hate Egyptians?...It is the Egyptians who do not consider themselves African; in fact the entire North Africa look down upon the rest of Africa inhabitants. They consider themselves Arabs and are even in the Arab League; they never joined the African Union until recently when they started wanting to associate themselves with the rest of us, after realizing that all along they have been Africans. No one is jealous of them, for what reason will it benefit other Africa inhabitants?

There is more to other African countries than your assumption.

😂😂 not even close. South Africa and Nigeria are way ahead of Egypt.

@@SuperKillerdog In your dreams

@@SuperKillerdog why Africans hates us so much ?

@@SuperKillerdog how? South Africa is failing and has a smaller gdp than Egypt. Nigeria is a giant slum with one of the lowest human development index scores in the world. Say it again.

Greetings from Egypt ❤

Egypt would be swamped by dumb lazy racist sub Saharan Africans demanding free money.

Love from Egypt to all our African brothers

good luck from egypt ♥

Best of luck, from Egypt 🇪🇬❤️

They have everything they need to become a super power and virtual water hub. Egypt will rise again.

Sisi is the best thing to happen to Egypt for many years and how they throw away the muslim brotherhood...Great nation on the rise again

@@anwar6174 morsi was better.

@@zombieat Do not overwhelm us with pain. Morsi ruled Egypt. Year the people were suffering from a crisis in electricity, gas, gasoline, transportation, and bread. Now Egypt has self-sufficiency from all of this and now exports gas and electricity after six years of work and effort Without Sisi, Egypt would now have civil wars such as Syria, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Sudan and Lebanon, and foreign countries such as Turkey, Russia, America and Europe interfered in Egypt's internal affairs. Thank God for the blessing of the Egyptian army, the sons of the homeland.

@@abomoaaz7245 i am basing this on egypt's worldwide gdp/capita rank under each president. nasser: from 75th in 1960 to 97th in 1970. sadat: from 97th in 1970 to 107th in 1981. mubarak: from 107th in 1981 to 125th in 2010. tantawi: from 125th in 2010 to 129th in 2011. morsi: from 129th in 2011 to 127th in 2013. sisi: from 127th in 2013 to 121st in 2020. so you see the steepest slope incline was with morsi not sisi.

Farmed fish can be quite toxic and cause a lot of environmental harm. It's important to do the work carefully and be fully aware of the risks and mitigate accordingly.

@@pauls4742 I agree.

Farming predatory fish like salmon puts an enormous stress on the food fish. Ecologically it makes much more sense to farm plant-eating fish. Most farmed fish are plant-eating but the Western world doesn't know about it because most farmed fish is produced and consumed in Asia. That's why Westerners think everybody talks about salmon when they hear fish farm. Actually, grass carp is the number one most farmed fish in the world.

I am not at all in favor of the large salmon project in Sweden, which also requires an enormous amount of transport and probably the import of fish feed for salmon. In addition, there is a great risk that they will eliminate all small-scale fish farming that exists.

@@eljanrimsa5843 yes, you are right, my home town is in Guangdong China, we have fish ponds more then 100 times of the area for generations. in redactional we only have plant - eating fish and every to frim, this price of them still very low, now they use many other grain like corn or bean made fish food, but for fresh water prawn and cod fish have to use fish meat for feeding, and the fish price is up to 10 times higher than normal fish. In China everyone try to stay away those imported salmon.

Africa 🤎 😍😍😍 is great , if you ever visit you will see for yourself . Don't mind all the fake negative propaganda being peddled about AfricA in bad faith .

Thank you and for all our brothers and sisters from Israel

Yes peace all around without concerning others' water areas and fuel. Fish farming; then also plants & their fruit-foods in the desert with greater sunlight; and solar energy & electric vehicles from there -more peacefulness 🌿😇

Funny you would say that...

Egypt 🤎🟤 👁️ is in the continent of ∆fric∆🤎 & not middle East . Israel is in the continent of Asia 🌏.

Daniel Good point. Floating solar could reduce evaporation as well as power the facility.

@@sbl17jackson37 floating solar would be cool because you process fish durning the day and the desalination you could size to run durning the day. So the only nighttime draw would be the ice storage

so unnatural

Good point but can this reduce the the amount of oxygen saturation in the pond?

Egypt is keen on renewables nowadays. 20% of it's energy is renewable now including the world's largest photovoltaic solar farm "benban" Some of these fish projects use dual phase water purification and uses tiny hydrodams to capture back the energy before releasing the water in the sea. While others treat bio waste to be used as fertilisers to cultivate the desert.

we are very much unserious, it's no where compare to what is taking pace in Egypt

@@sadiqabubakarabdulkadir6976 Egypt displays, foresight, planning and coordination along with the proper application of science. This is what Nigeria is lacking in many spheres not just fish farming.

We have the largest water purification station in the world ,, we don't waste anynwater because we are already facing water shortage

@@things3999 I figured there was something like that in place. Very cool, so you make fish fertilizer from it then I’m assuming. What a great investment for a country’s sustainable needs. And thank you for responding.

What waste the fish already live in water

@@things3999 how are they dealing with the release of waste water from the ponds??

Water purification, which splits into fertilizers and the purified water is used for agriculture in the desert.

My family is originally from benban. Everyone who lives their is related to me.

@@Gary-bz1rf Would not be unusual for Egypt to import raw materials to manufacture products at a cost above world market prices. They did it with ammonia fertilizer using an obsolete process.

@@fwcolb Egyptian government officials and most of the civil servants are highly corrupt. They love "bakhshish" even for services not rendered.

You can't do it over the world you are not pharaohs to do you are backward only Egyptians can do this

Donot worry ... this indystry aint a new commer in egypt

@@ahmadradwan5914 a government propagandist would tell you not to worry, someone who supports the program would just answer the question.

Dual and triple phase water purification is used but i don't know specifically wether the water gets released in the Mediterranean or get resused there or somewhere else. These projects are all over egypt not only northern egypt.

I would imagine it can be used or sold for farming. They could do aquaponics for full circle

I have just researched it. They have like 4 different types of basins. In the first one, they use sea water and raise fish that need clean water and are directly fed ( gilt-head bream & bass). The waste water is then fed to the second type of basins in which they raise other types of fish that feed of the waste (mullets) and further down the line they raise algae and shell fish to complete the biological treatment. At the end the quality of the water should be similar to the fresh water used and I think that they make regular analysis of the water quality.

Fish waste is an organic fertilizer. Water is typically reused for agriculture (if fresh water) or returned to sea (if salt water) after treatment.

It's Egypt. Dumped.

@@genli5603 Egypt has a lot of experience with integrated aquaculture. I believe they are able to take care not to dump to much polluted waste in the sea. It's not China or the US, they understand what's at stake and try to do the right thing when they are able to, no matter the financial aspect.

@@Sayitlikitiz101 The project is designed according to international standards. The water in which the fish live is used in agriculture because it contains biofertilizer, and this is very useful for the plant instead of chemical fertilizers, as there is no environmental pollution.

i think they already do some research about how to overcome the waste, there are many solution for these waste problems, and because its huge project for next generation , for sure they will handle it in good ways

For sure we don't dump it into the sea we use it as fertilizers to grow crops in sinai desert and the water contains chemicals which is rare we clean it and use it for growing crops .

There are many fish farms both private and state owned in egypt. I hear they are all very profitable, but only recently they started exporting. Most production is consumed locally.

Egypt all news good gas discovery and gold discovery 24 new city fast train new monorail new fabric new Egypt cotton brand fir clothing new suez canal zone for international fabrics and more all mega projects start 2018 and complete 2030 because egypt vision 2030 . And Egypt make new delta so the water go inside sahara for first time last year and every years they add some area to be green in sahara until 2030

Check out minute 2:53 that tells you who credit should go to.

They already desalinate, they have the equipment to recycle the water.

@@jamesshamley6577 so where does the brine go?

Actually they are using brine for farming

Valid points. Aquaponics and hydroculture go hand in hand.

@@arpan537 This is great!!

Egypt is investing in other african countries to build fish farms and train local experts as far away as zambia and zimbabwe. Kenya is also helping other african countries in fintech and other fields they excel at. Ethiopian businesses are also going international in other african countries. Its about time african economies work together!

@@SherifRok-cw8kx It's exciting to know this is happening

Egypt not African

Oh boy... if you think Baltic farms are unhealthy... you REALLY don't want to look at the chemicals used in so-called "organic" fisheries in Africa.

@@thespanishinquisition4078 come on.. its a matter of reputation. Most of the food in egypt is organic anyway. By the way, european importers inspect african fish farms at least once a month and typically own a stake in the farms they import from. Its much easier to farm crap in europe because the eu rules are relaxed. We dont even grow gmo fish: that's why salmon is farmed in europe.

This farm is right next to the sea and they installed a system to filter the water from the sea to the tanks and when its dirty enough they filter it and throw it into an artificial lake they created for fishing and add new filtered water from the sea to the tanks again so this is not a problem to them.

for fish farm to kill bacteria, you just need lime, main part are just calcium, non-toxic. you don't need a lots chemicals for fish farm, also there are many eco friendly product for it.

where does it come from?

@@xitro20xx It would be interesting to know. I have no idea but the reason I am asking is because I suspect it comes from over fishing our common seas for small fish or some other ecological detrimental products that are then processed as fish food. Why there is no information about it if there is nothing to hide?

@@jeanpouyet2710 I actually looked it up. There many ways to make fish food. So it might be many ways. Even found a way to make fish food from chicken eggs.

@@xitro20xx The point I was trying to express is that you don't get something from nothing (say miracle) so there is a cost somewhere. For example the wonderful productivity of the Norvegian salmon farming has a very high cost in term of environmental pollution and overfishing elsewhere.

@@jeanpouyet2710 yes definitely, i do not know if the hidden cost will be in fish food. but you bring an excellent with Norwegian salmon farming. This probably has simular problems. Specially if the fish will be close together. But if they are smart and the fish is not over populated nor the fish feed bad. they might have a good system. For now i would say time will tell. You've made a good point :)

By the way Egypt is building a fishing fleet to fish in the world oceans also

They are the project builder if you are not aware. I am sure they have taken note. But their population is just too big. No fish farm no matter how big can meet their needs.

@@kamsunleong6648 they are not it is made by the Egyptian armed forces

There are bigger fish farms in China n along the coast of Fukien. Find out b4 U make silly comments.

@@user-or1rm1ol3q everyone knows this project is constructed by Chinese firm

yes!! in theory it should!

Farmed fish are fed fish meal, which is ground up fish that are caught from the seas and oceans. Farmed fish don't actually help the marine ecosystems, read up on the use of fish meal to feed farmed fish.

@@mohit13reddy depends on the type of fish farmed. Plant eating fish farmed would be more sustainable and could be the largest proportion farmed in the project

@@mohit13reddy they use max. 20 percent fish meal and the production ratio is 1kg fish for 1.5kg food. Do the math, it still saves 70% if you don't use the waste from the fish. But they actually feed the waste of the fish to other farmed species (brass and shellfish) which don't need additional fodder and clean up the water in addition to algae. It certainly is an improvement imho.
