Electronic Bird Control (EBC), an innovative French company specializing in advanced drone-based bird deterrence systems, and the Cyprus Mariculture Association (CMA), representing all marine aquaculture producers in Cyprus, have entered into a strategic cooperation agreement to deploy and operationalize the E-Raptor, an advanced bio-inspired drone system designed to sustainably protect aquaculture farms from bird-related damage.

CMA serves as the unified voice of the Cypriot marine aquaculture sector, representing its producers at national and European level and promoting sustainable growth, regulatory excellence and environmental responsibility.

Aquaculture operators across the Mediterranean face increasing economic losses due to protected bird species such as gulls, herons and cormorants. Traditional deterrence methods often prove ineffective, labor-intensive or environmentally intrusive. In response, CMA initiated discussions with EBC to identify a sustainable and non-lethal solution tailored to Cypriot mariculture farms.

The E-Raptor replicates the morphology and flight dynamics of a bird of prey, generating a natural territorial response among nuisance species. Equipped with advanced onboard systems and VTOL capability, it operates autonomously and integrates seamlessly into aquaculture operations without complex infrastructure requirements.

2017 We are honoured to have the Director General of the FAO José Graziano da Silva, visit our farm.

2016 FISH FEEDER I, a vessel constructed in Cyprus for feeding operations is placed at sea. Constructed by a relative company, it carries up to 60 tons fish feed and can feed 6 different cages at one time.

On 2nd June 2016, Kimagro’s Levantina Fish have once again been awarded for exceptional taste and quality. This year we were extremely pleased to see that our hard efforts have earned our Levantina Bream 3 stars. We will continue to do our best and hope to achieve the Diamond Award for our Levantina Sea Bass in 2 years’ time.

We have had the greatest pleasure to participate once again at the iTQi in Brussels for the third year running to collect Superior Taste Awards of our Levantina Fish.

Our Mediterranean Sea Bass received the Crystal Award after obtaining 3 stars for its superior taste and quality in 3 consecutive years and our lovely Mediterranean Sea Bream got 2 stars.

We feel it is a great achievement for Kimagro and for Cyprus as well since it is our Island’s beautiful crystal blue waters which help to make the difference!

Special thanks to the iTQi for organising a wonderful event and look forward to seeing you all again!

Well done to Kimagro and wish for many fruitful achievements in the near future!
