Heading the mariculture research in Israel is the National Center for Mariculture (NCM), located on the Red Sea in the town of Eilat. The NCM develops technologies for rearing marine fish and other marine species of high economic value. Studies carried out at the NCM provide the base for developing mariculture as a novel agricultural branch in Israel, utilizing marine and brackish water. The main research areas include: control of fish reproduction, larval rearing, genetic improvement of fish, development of feeds for fish and fingerlings, development of systems for intensive fish growth and of integrated systems for growth of fish, mollusks and algae.
