AQUAFARMING
DEVELOPMENT
TUNA ACQUAFARMING
Breeding tuna sustainably for consumption has been a challenge faced for many
decades. Megadon AG supports an aquafarming venture that is looking into how to breed
the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna in the Mediterranean. Current practices are only able to farm tuna
in captivity that was born and bred in the wild. This puts an enormous pressure on wild
stocks and these practices cannot be called sustainable.
Tuna follows a reproduction cycle that includes spawning migration which is interrupted
when in captivity. This venture has researched and patented a way for the Atlantic
Bluefin Tuna to reproduce in aquafarming. If successful and upscaled, this venture gives
wild stock both in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean the chance to recover, it helps to
protect endangered species and puts a brake on overfishing.
Another venture in sustainable acquafarming is an eco-fishfarm in Thailand.
Tilapia and catfish are bred in polyculture with other crop and the farm runs on
self-generated solar power.
06
RENEWABLE
ENERGIES
BIO-ENERGY FROM ALGAE
One of the ventures in the renewable energy sector is located in Spain. It specializes
in growing algae industrially for the production of biofuels and electricity.
Although algae are very small organisms, they make for a fast growing and abundantly
available natural resource. They absorb CO2 while they grow and produce vast amounts
of oxygen in the process. On this planet, 50% of oxygen is released by algae, which
makes them at least as important to us as rainforests.
This venture has found a way to produce oil and biomass from algae, which are then
turned into biodiesel or electricity. The technology developed to generate electricity does
so without releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, making it a zero greenhouse gas emissions
source of renewable energy.
07
SUSTAINABLE
FISHING
SUSTAINABLE FISHING IN BRAZIL
Fishing in coastal areas around the world starts with the local fishermen, who depend
upon their boat and available fish stocks to make a living. The fishing profession is as
old as humanity itself – while there is an automated fishing industry at sea, the equipment
of fishermen working along the coastlines has not seen major developments.
This venture is looking to radically innovate fishing boats in Brazil.
Handmade wooden boats will not provide the safety and range of a modern boat
designed to run eco-friendly and equiped with tools that are optimized for the fishing
trade. The venture is working towards revolutionizing the sector together with the
consumers and the local communities.
Megadon AG is also advising a sustainable fishing venture in the ECOWAS
(Economic Community Of West African States) region, where fish consumption is vital
for the majority of the population.
08
WATER
SECURITY
ICELANDIC WATER HUB
Clean drinking water is a resource that is becoming more scarce and valuable, even in
water abundant parts of the world. In earth’s arid regions, however, waterways and water
catchment areas are becoming assets to secure and protect, increasingly by force.
One of the ventures from our network aims at extracting water in Iceland to export it
in bulk. Special containers designed to carry drinking water have been developed, making
it possible to load water onto container ships – these would, after having offloaded
imported goods, otherwise travel empty.
Iceland is immensely water rich, its water resources are among the most secure,
and production is cheap with a minimal impact on the island’s unique natural environment.
We have no time to lose to resolve the global challenge of water scarcity.
This venture is an inventive step towards how demand and supply of water can be met.
09
INFRASTRUCTURE
DEVELOPMENT
IMPROVED PARKING IN BRAZIL
One in six inhabitants of Brazil owns a car, the future holding a steady trend to more cars
running and parking in its most densely built up areas. This is a situation found in many
urban areas worldwide, the wellknown side effect is the need for ever more parking
spaces – especially where space is limited.
We are looking into a venture that is to seize opportunities for effective car parking
solutions by improving and expanding the existing infrastructure. With parking structures
being relatively undeveloped and capacities low, Brazil offers room for growth in this
sector. Work places are created when answering to the pronounced need for security of
car owners, additional security services will allow for more revenue.
Megadon AG also supports a German real estate fund that holds assets of more
than 100 million euros.
