A system of harvesting sea creatures from a trench holding the sea creatures in seawater, including a trench and a harvesting apparatus that extracts the sea creatures from the trench. The trench includes a gate at one end of the trench. The gate insertable into an opening at the end of the trench to prevent seawater from entering or exiting the trench and removable from the opening to allow the seawater to enter or exit the trench. The harvesting apparatus includes a conveyor that inclines. The conveyor includes a conveyor belt and a wedge at one end of the conveyor that contacts the bottom floor of the trench when the conveyor is inclined. The wedge directs the sea creatures onto the conveyor so that the sea creatures are conveyed by the conveyor belt out of the trench.

The present invention relates to a method of aquaculture of at least one farmed organism, such as fish, shrimp or any organism suitable for farming in an aquatic environment. There is provided a method of aquaculture of at least one farmed organism, the method comprising steps: (i) providing an aquatic environment comprising at least one farmed organism, phytoplankton and bacteria; (ii) providing at least one phytoplankton nutrient and at least one bacteria nutrient during a first predetermined period, allowing phytoplankton and bacteria to grow in a first predetermined phytoplankton:bacteria ratio of more than 1; (iii) providing at least one phytoplankton nutrient and at least one bacteria nutrient during a second predetermined period, allowing phytoplankton and bacteria to grow in a second predetermined phytoplankton:bacteria ratio, wherein the second predetermined phytoplankton:bacteria ratio is lower than the first predetermined phytoplankton:bacteria ratio; and (iv) providing at least one phytoplankton nutrient and at least one bacteria nutrient during a third predetermined period, allowing phytoplankton and bacteria to grow in a third predetermined phytoplankton:bacteria ratio, wherein the third predetermined phytoplankton:bacteria ratio is lower than the second predetermined phytoplankton:bacteria ratio, thereby allowing the at least one farmed organism to grow.

Provided are Peptide-based neurokinin antagonists of fish reproduction. Compositions including antagonists of fish neurokinin and methods of inhibiting or delaying puberty, fish maturation or reproduction processes using these compounds are also provided.

System and methods for monitoring the growth of an aquatic plant culture and detecting real-time characteristics associated with the aquatic plant culture aquatic plants. The systems and methods may include a control unit configured to perform an analysis of at least one image of an aquatic plant culture. The analysis may include processing at least one collected image to determine at least one physical characteristic or state of an aquatic plant culture. Systems and methods for distributing aquatic plant cultures are also provided. The distribution systems and methods may track and control the distribution of an aquatic plant culture based on information received from various sources. Systems and methods for growing and harvesting aquatic plants in a controlled and compact environment are also provided. The systems may include a bioreactor having a plurality of vertically stacked modules designed to contain the aquatic plants and a liquid growth medium.
