Aquaculture: How the fish on your table is raised

When buying fish, we often check if it’s “wild-caught” or “farmed.” However, few truly know the complex process that brings species like sea bream or sea bass to our tables with full health guarantees. Aquaculture is a science focused on balancing production with sustainability.

The Life Cycle: It starts in breeding centers with strictly controlled temperature and oxygen levels until the eggs hatch. Once they reach the fingerling stage, fish are moved to floating sea cages or land-based recirculation tanks.

Feeding and Food Safety: Today’s feed is made from high-quality marine and vegetable ingredients. Because it’s a controlled environment, the risk of parasites like anisakis is virtually eliminated, making farmed fish a very safe option.

Sustainability: Aquaculture is the solution to overfishing, protecting ocean biodiversity while providing fresh products with full traceability from farm to fork.
