Project title: AQUACULTURE HEALTH MANAGEMENT

Company name : PROBIOTICS LTD.

TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD
Aquaculture, aquatic healthcare

KEY WORDS
Aquaculture, Fish, Fish
Disease, Aquaculture Farms, Aquatic Veterinary Practitioners,
Aquaculture Health Management

PROJECT SUMMARY
Fish disease is a major constraint to aquaculture growth and has
been responsible for substantial monetary losses to the
aquaculture industry. Production costs are increased by fish
disease outbreaks because of the investment lost in dead fish,
cost of treatment, and decreased growth during convalescence.

ProBiotics Ltd. is developing a proprietary blend of natural
bacteria specifically designed to enhance immune response of
certain fish species while eliminating specific pathogens and
pollutants that are known to negatively impact the health of
farmed species, making them vulnerable to diseases. The unique
natural probiotic formula includes a proprietary blend of
specific bacterial cultures and feed additives and is designed to
prevent fish disease and
increase the overall productivity of the aquaculture farm.

ADVANTAGES
* Enhance fish non-specific immunity.
* Balances bacterial population in water and reduces pathogenic
bacterial load.
* Increases productivity of aquaculture farms
* Enhances decomposition of undesirable organic substances and
pollutants

MARKETS
Aquaculture is the fastest growing livestock production sector in
the world, with fish being the primary source of animal protein
in many countries worldwide. The global aquaculture market is
expected to grow at an average annual rate of 11% from $66
billion in 2003 to $102 billion in 2008. By 2008, aquaculture
products are projected to represent more than 48% of worldwide
fish food production.

ENTREPRENEUR
Dr. Raanan Ariav - Founder and
President.
Dr. Ariav has assembled a strong team of specialists, scientists
and engineers. This team represents a full range of skills and
expertise in the fields of aquaculture production and operation,
design and construction of aquaculture projects, fish health
management and disease diagnosis, economics, marketing, quality
assurance, genetics and breeding.

PROJECT STATUS
