ISSUES & NEEDS
ANIMAL PROTEIN CRISIS
PROTEIN CRISIS
The growth of the middle class has led to a doubling of per capita meat consumption, from approximately 23 kg/year in the 1960s, to 43 kg/ year in 2013. Coupled with population growth, if agriculture and livestock farming practices remain unchanged, this could lead to an imbalance between supply and demand as early as in 2025-30.
Popularization of eating fish
Feed efficiency
Livestock < Fisheries
MARINE AND ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABILITY CRISIS
Water required to produce 1 kg of maize = 1,800 L Water required to produce 1 kg of beef = 20,600 L Food waste rate = 32.5% = 1.3 billion tonnes discarded / 4 billion tonnes produced
Breaking free from dependence on the sea Production method
Production method
Fishing < Marine aquaculture < Land-based aquaculture
SUPPLY CHAIN CRISIS
SUPPLY CHAIN CRISIS
Global logistics networks disrupted and stalled due to the spread of COVID-19 on a global scale, instability in production and supply in Europe due to the war in Ukraine, and soaring energy prices, including crude oil prices.
Decentralised and autonomous

SOLUTION
Aquatic Species that can be Cultivated with ARK Compatible with a wide range of aquatic species, from fish to algae.
Supports a wide range of farmed fish species, from fish to algae.
Furthermore, the company and its partners are conducting technological research to expand the range of fish species that can be farmed.
Composite Aquaculture
IMTA
IMTA（Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture） allows for the integrated cultivation of algae and other aquatic species in the same environment. By connecting ARK-V1 and REF-V1, a balanced aquaculture environment can be established.
Micro aquaculture
Just as craft beer is produced on a small scale near consumption areas and its brand is established there, it is possible to start a small scale, land-based aquaculture business with an annual production of under 10 tonnes. Further enhancements in water quality and feed can create unique fish brands, enabling business development centered around it.
PRODUCT
ARK-V1
High-performance flagship model that meets diverse needs.
REF-V1
Refugium model that promotes composite cultivation with algae and improves water quality.
