Agri-Aquaculture Systems Integration

Water productivity across fish, crops, reservoirs, and arid environments

Integrated agri-aquaculture uses water twice: first as a controlled fish production resource, then as part of broader agricultural infrastructure and irrigation planning.

Capabilities

• Evaluation of irrigation reservoirs for intensive fish-culture potential.
• Planning principles for combined fish production and agricultural water use.
• Desert aquaculture protocols shaped by Israeli experience in arid and semi-arid regions.
• Operational guidance on water quality, nutrient flows, seasonal constraints, and farm economics.
• Support for growers and institutions converting water infrastructure into productive aquaculture assets.

Expected outcomes

• Higher value per unit of water infrastructure.
• Better alignment between fish production and agricultural irrigation cycles.
• More practical project design for hot, dry, and water-sensitive regions.
• Reduced separation between aquaculture plans and real farm constraints.

Relevant proof points

• Publication on integration of fish culture and irrigation reservoirs.
• Co-authored work on “Integration of Agri-Aquaculture Systems – The Israeli Experience.”
• Contribution to desert aquaculture literature.
• Applied extension work with Israeli growers and new producer training.
