This project will introduce state-of-the-art RAS technology in collaboration with AquaBioTech Group (ABTG), a leader in aquaculture technologies and services headquartered in Malta, but operating internationally.
The new facility is part of NTT G&F’s initiatives to realise “sustainable local communities,” aiming to revitalise regional industries, create employment and address local challenges through the use of digital technologies, with land-based aquaculture as a core pillar.
Upon completion in the financial year 2026, the facility is expected to produce approximately 310 tonnes of market-size trout salmon annually, as well as about 260 tonnes of intermediate-size Coho Salmon for offshore aquaculture within the prefecture.
“It is an honour to have been selected to work on this exciting project that is significant not just for AquaBioTech Group, but also for the future of modern, intensive and sustainable aquaculture in Japan,” said Shane A. Hunter, AquaBioTech Group’s chief executive officer, in a press release.
“Focusing on seafood production through land-based aquaculture, we aim to contribute to regional revitalisation by creating jobs and stimulating local industries. To realise a better future, NTT Green & Food will further strengthen collaboration with AquaBioTech Group and other partners,” added Yoshikazu Kusumi, president and chief executive officer of NTT Green & Food, Inc.
