National advisor and sector organizer
Served through Israel’s Extension Service as a national specialist for fish growers, organizing professional tours, annual conferences, training programs, and sector knowledge transfer.
Elite aquaculture advisory from Israel to international markets
Engineering sustainable fish-farming systems from feasibility to production.
Mr. Yitzhak Simon brings more than five decades of operational, engineering, hatchery, and government advisory experience to aquaculture ventures that require practical design logic, biological discipline, and bankable execution.
Decades of high-level experience for aquaculture decisions that must work in real production conditions.
Yitzhak Simon’s advisory value comes from the rare overlap between commercial farm leadership, national extension work, RAS simulation research, international feasibility surveys, and decades of direct engagement with growers.
His work is suited to investors, ministries, development organizations, farms, and entrepreneurs who need a disciplined evaluation of biological, engineering, operational, and economic assumptions.

4core consulting pillars covering RAS, hatcheries, agri-integration, and feasibility
Advisory services
- RAS concept validation and system redesign review
- Hatchery process mapping and fingerling-production advisory
- Agri-aquaculture integration for reservoirs and irrigation infrastructure
- Government, investor, and NGO feasibility missions
- Operational troubleshooting, production protocol review, and grower training
- Conference, symposium, and sector knowledge-transfer support
Four ways to de-risk and strengthen aquaculture ventures.
Each pillar can stand alone as a focused consulting engagement or combine into a full feasibility, design, training, and production-readiness program.
Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) & Industrialization
Pioneering design, mathematical simulation modeling, Arena-based optimization, and operational management of ultra-efficient semi-closed recirculating fish farms.
Explore RAS & IndustrializationHatchery, Breeding & Fingerling Production
Management of reproductive genetics, cohort propagation, mass production protocols for tilapia fingerlings, and export-oriented supply chain management.
Explore Hatchery & BreedingAgri-Aquaculture Systems Integration
Optimization of multi-use water infrastructure, intensive fish culture in agricultural irrigation reservoirs, and practical desert aquaculture protocols.
