The production of juvenile fish takes place in our
hatchery station in seawater under strict controls of infiltration
and disinfection.
From the moment we acquire the eggs until they reach 1
gr. of body weight, the fish will need about 4 months of cultivation.
The station consists of the following sections:
Brood
These are special tanks growing
parentage (or "mothers") where they produce their eggs.
Live Feeds
In this section a delicate chain
process takes place leading to production of live food, necessary
nutrition for the larvae.
Production of Phytoplancton
With the
assistance of artificial photosynthesis Phytoplancton is produced.
Production of Zooplancton
Zooplancton (or
"rotifer") develops consuming Phytoplancton produced in
the previous process.
Artemia
Artemia is grown here, a sort of
microscopic shrimp (Brine shrimp) is the food for the early stages
of larvae.
Hatching
Here the juvenile is evolving over
the course of 2 months where it acquires the form of small fish.
Pre-fattening
The last stage before transferring to fattening farms, the juvenile has now fully acquired the
form of fish and begins a gradual transition onto a systematic diet.
