Welcome to aquacultureinisrael.com
"Aquaculture in Israel" is the bulletin of the Fish Breeders Association in Israel
It features general information about aquaculture in Israel and various professional activities, and provides links (under Publications) to both the Israeli Journal of Aquaculture - Bamidgeh (English) and Fisheries and Fishbreeding in Israel (Hebrew) as well as non-periodical publications.
The goals of the Fish Breeders Association in Israel (an agricultural association) are to advance the economic status of its members, such as planning the industry, preserving prices, maintaining high quality of products as a safe and healthy food for the consumers, representing fish farmers facing public and state authorities, and promoting extension and research which are cornerstones to achieving the goals of the association. Israeli fish farmers have over 70 years of proven experience. We specialize mainly in technological aspects of unique culture methods: earthen ponds, water reservoirs, recycled aquaculture systems (RAS), water recycling, exploitation of marginal waters and seed production.

An Overview of Israeli Inland Aquaculture
An Overview of Israeli Inland Aquaculture
The global aquaculture industry is divided into different categories. These categories include production of fish in fresh and brackish water (with low salinity, approaching freshwater), and production of fish in salt water. Production is mainly for human consumption, as fresh, chilled, frozen or processed products. Ornamental fish are also produced for aquariums and ornamental garden ponds.
Israel is located in a semi-arid zone, with a wet winter and dry summer, and a low average annual rainfall of around 500 mm/year, with the majority occurring in the central-north areas of the country. The only large inland water body is the Lake of Galilee, which mainly supplies drinking water for human consumption. In spite of the obvious climatic constraints and overall shortage of water, both agriculture and aquaculture are highly developed in Israel.
