Activities
The operations of the fish hatchery are carried out by Blue Fisheries Ltd, a subsidiary of Blue Island Plc.
The hatchery is located in the Akrotiri area of Limassol (34º38’14.20″ N, 32º54’42.85″ E). Its potential production capacity is 10 million juvenile fish (fry) weighing 1–3 grams, which are delivered to the Blue Island fish farm or to other fish farms for farming until they reach a marketable weight of over 300 grams.
It is worth noting that the hatchery is one of the first to be established in the Mediterranean for the production of Mediterranean species, mainly sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and gilthead bream (Sparus aurata).
The juvenile fish are grown in a completely healthy, controlled, and natural environment, with specifications that ensure their smooth growth without the use of chemicals or invasive methods.
The production process emphasizes the natural enhancement of the fish’s resilience and quality.
A portion of the annual production is exported to foreign markets, reflecting the international recognition of the company’s product quality.
The export process is carried out using specially designed vehicles equipped with water tanks that ensure ideal transport conditions.
Each shipment is carefully planned to transport a significant number of young fish with absolute safety and care, maintaining the freshness and vitality of the organisms until their delivery.
