Environmental and operational standards

Hydric standards

Technologies and recirculation processes perform a continuous treatment of the water. Reutilizing 99% of the hydric resource.

Each fish tank has an oxygen sensor connected to sound alarms that are used to keep the parameters in check

Water supply comes from deep wells and the sea, which are filtered, sanitized with UV and ozone.

Water reutilization
99%
Water use, compared to other facilities
10%

Considering the recirculating system with the total amount of water, the flow of water entering each recirculating land-base farm is greatly reduced compared to a traditional land-base farm (open flow), this is shown in the fresh water consumption table above.

Fish farming Standards

Operations take into account the constant regulation of internal flows, temperature parameters, nitrates and oxygen, alongside other variables.

Fish are kept in optimal conditions for harvest, focusing at all times on their welfare for adequate growth.

Fish are manipulated with authorized analgesics

In the facilities the fish go through vaccination, sexing, graduation, therapeutic treatments and illness control through the best handling farm fish, that uses methods such as mortality extraction tray, level sensor, oxygen sensor, oxygen mixing cone and a food dosage system, all of this creates a low stress system.

Effluent standards

We work with O.E.C.D. (*) standards for effluent discharge parameters.

To achieve this, the processes include, filtration of solids, degasification of the waters, oxygenation, removal of most of the metabolic products fish make, this is done through biofilters, disinfection with ozone and a dephosphorization system to limit the impact of the phosphorus from the food.

The treated water is then discharged in the sea through a 25cm pipe.

Energy standards

The technologies and processes focus on optimization and energy system backups.

Optimal farming temperature is achieved through the use of a heat exchanger with sea water. A high recirculation rate and technical warehouse isolation allows for a more efficient thermic control.

National power lines are used and there are electric generators as backup.

Feeding standards

Each recirculation land-base farm has an automatic feeding system that allows for dosage, scheduling, different diets and their own food storage warehouse and silos.

Certifications

We keep international certifications (BAP and GLOBAL GAP) and independent epidemiological units.

Certified with both norms, for the first time, since 2015.

We focus on fish welfare
