What Makes Us Different?

R&D STUDIES

With the help of our scientific R&D studies, to get the best results we keep our production quality always in the highest level.

PIONEER of INDUSTRY

As a result of our R&D studies, along with the other species we now cultivate White Grouper, too.

Near 30 YEARS of EXPERIENCE

Since the times that aquaculture fisheries started with the experience that comes from our studies, today we produce 7 different sea fish species.

FOLLOWING THE NATURE

In aquaculture fish cultivation, we obtain the results closest to natural taste thanks to the cages' positions and water quality which provides the natural environment currents and temperature for the fish.

ECO-FRIENDLY CULTIVATION

We follow eco-friendly production methods in order to grow fish in the most natural environment possible to ensure ecological sustainability.

FEED TECHNOLOGIES

We produce the algae to feed rotifers in our own facility. And we feed our fish with those enriched rotifers too. This way we get the best nutritional values for our end products.
