AgriMarine System Floating Semi-Closed Containment Tanks AgriMarine Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) The AgriMarine System are floating semi-closed containment tanks that combine the environmental and husbandry benefits of land-based fish farming with the low operational costs of open net pen aquaculture. ATI is developing RAS technologies for applications where water access is restricted or where limited water resources are available for land-based farm production. Our proprietary aquatic farm management technology provides optimized conditions for the rearing of finfish in fresh or sea water conditions. Controlled dissolved oxygen content, nutrient recovery, low energy footprint, temperature modulation, and instant mortality recovery are just some of the benefits of this floating, semi-closed system. Key Features of the AgriMarine System TM : Energy efficiency with low head, high flow pump Semi-Closed system for effective management of rearing environment Able to operate in fresh and salt water environments in any temperature Risk mitigation from algae and low dissolved oxygen events Adjustable intake depth for source water temperature control Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) are land-based, closed containment rearing systems with full water treatment and recycling technologies employed, that offer economic and fish husbandry benefits to the farmer. RAS allows water quality of the rearing environment to be controlled, thus accelerating fish growth and crop turnover, while the entry of pathogens is minimized, as only small make up water flows need be treated. Key Features of RAS: Fish products can command premium pricing Improves feed conversion ratios Optimizes growth rates Provides a consistent biomass once steady-state is reached Increases bio security Controls water temperature and salinity levels Integrated oxygen supplementation and control systems Demonstrated sea lice reduction Improved feed utilization Ideally suited for post-smolt production Technology tested and proven for salmon and trout; also suitable for sea bream, sea bass, barramundi, sable fish, sturgeon and other species A better way to farm: Controls oxygen levels Moderates in-tank temperature Captures nutrients Mitigates sea lice Outfitted with our proprietary Nutrient Recovery System which turns potentially deleterious waste into feedstock for the production of high value organic fertilizers Drawing courtesy of JLH Consulting

ATI Floating Semi-Closed Raceway Technology Deepwater Injection Oxygenation System (DIOS) ATI is developing a commercial scale floating raceway system along the same principles of our semi-closed containment technology for fish production. ATI s floating raceway technology provides the same control over water quality as circular containment systems but can be deployed in smaller water bodies such as man-made ponds and rehabilitated gravel pits. Key Features of the Floating Raceway Technology: Temperature modulation Efficient removal of settleable solids Control of dissolved oxygen levels Control of water velocity Water quality control modules such as biofiltration and oxygen enhancement can be added High transfer efficiency oxygenation at low power is a challenge for farmers. The DIOS was developed to oxygenate water at a lower power consumption. Initially developed for fresh water applications, this system may be used in either fresh or ocean water. Key Features of the DIOS: Provides a high transfer efficiency for oxygen supplementation. Outfitted with adjustable ports that allow users to draw water from surface down to 30 metres depth, which provides temperature modulation and avoidance of deleterious biota at certain depths. May be adaptable for a variety of applications to achieve the oxygenation needs of an individual site and species farmed. Oxygen Cone Prototype

Gas Diffusion Systems (GDS) Autonomous Control of Aquaculture Systems (ACAS) Typical aluminum oxygen stones corrode in ocean waters and are difficult to clean. Our serviceable stones can be taken apart during cleaning cycles and offer a full range of replacement parts. Our diffusers are designed for many oxygen and gas transfer applications, from waste water to fish farming and everything in-between. Key Features of the GDS: Ceramic diffusers are interchangeable and may be refurbished multiple times before replacement is necessary, which makes them easily serviceable. Housings are stainless steel, and while more expensive than the aluminum housings from other manufacturers, will last indefinitely in both salt and fresh water applications. Diffusers have a 60 square inch surface area, and operate at maximum 50 psi. Offer lower pressure differential in order to save power. This monitoring and control system provides remote user access for both monitoring and adjustment of rearing environment control systems. ATI developed the ACAS to provide autonomous control of computer and machinery equipment. The ACAS ensures that computers can make rapid adjustments without the need for someone present at a farm site 24-7. Local data is uploaded to a Cloud which allows for remote access to data in real time, letting the farmer monitor a farm remotely, anytime of the day. Cloud servers send out text messages to farmers to alert them of any issues. Key Features of the ACAS: Wireless communication between devices makes this system unique. Modular set up allows easy incorporation into existing systems. Monitors variables, sensors and pumps for instruments, and provides automated controls based on variables and parameters set. Currently developing new wireless sensors that can be battery-powered and are easily connected without the need for power. Data hosting is also available. Alumina Membrane Fine Bubble Diffuser
