Going Above And Beyond for Quality Superior Fish Begins With Superior Water
Amazing, sustainable, farm-raised seafood starts with an optimal environment, a respect for the fish, and an in-depth understanding of their biology. We start with natural sea water for our saltwater species and pure local aquifer water for our freshwater species. Our fish begin their lives with water in our hatcheries that is then tailored through a high-tech filtration process to create the ideal environment. We purify and filter the water to remove pathogens, parasites, toxins, algae and harmful microorganisms. The dissolved minerals, which contribute to the overall flavor of the fish, remain intact. From there on, across our nursuries and grow-out ponds, we carefully control and continually monitor salinity, oxygen, temperatures and more to create a perfectly balanced environment for the fish. The end result is a quality you can taste.
We take this process even further in our shrimp hatchery. Shrimp in their larval state can be sensitive to environmental conditions. So, we go to great lengths to provide our hatchery with ideal water quality for optimum growing conditions and to reduce stress on the larvae. A specifically-designed vessel collects deep-sea water 20 miles or more off shore. This water is higher in salinity and contains less containments and sediment than coastal water. The clean seawater is pumped into holding tanks at the hatchery, filtered four times then circulated through the hatchery. The post-circulation outflow water is returned to the bay several times cleaner than when it was collected.
