A Riverstone fish farm has pivoted its business to creating a new fertiliser product and moved to accept cryptocurrency all within a few years.

River Stone Fish Farm’s Emil Isaac, a Riverstone local who helped fellow engineer Joseph Ayoub develop the business, said there were synergies between the Qoin cryptocurrency and the duo’s fish farming business.

The farm, which was previously known for farming barramundi, created a “disruptive fertiliser” called Swift Grow three years ago and hasn’t looked back.

A RIVERSTONE scientist’s invention of fertiliser derived from barramundi fish excrement has been declared a success by experts and consumers – especially when it comes to growing crops in drought.

With testimonials from experts such as horticulturist Jeremy Critchley of Green Gallery nursery in Dural and approval by the NSW Department of Primary Industries, Swift Grow is set to be a game-changer in domestic and commercial agriculture.
 
Microbiologist Joseph Ayoub experimented over 12 years on his aquaculture farm in Riverstone to come up with Swift Grow.

“We are now at the point where we can export and, if we need to, we can scale up to twice the volume in three weeks,” marketing manager Emil Isaac said.
 
The fertiliser is made by collecting fish excrement at the farm facility in Riverstone, NSW.

“The feed goes through the gut of the fish and naturally produces the same bacteria and microorganisms that fertile soils have inside them,” Mr Isaac said.
