NATURAL METHOD FOR HARVESTING THE SEED

TECHNICAL SYSTEM FOR FATTENING THE SHELL(LONG LINE)

MISSIONTo become the leader in sustinable developoment of Acuaculture activity, in marine water, continental water and/or brackish water. Contributing to the development of the country by means of generating greater sources of food materials, increased employment and better living conditions for the population in the areas where the projects have their influence/presence.

VISIONTo become the reference point and leader in the development of Acuaculture activities, through the use of new technologies, improvement of processes and efficiency that guarantees our existence in the course of time. Contributing to generate new opportunities of investment and work on our renewable resources (within a framework of sustainable development).

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT“ARGOPECTEN PURPURATUS”

First Stage• Integral cultivation of the scallop shell by means of a "Long Line“

hanging system; consists of the following stages: • This phase includes the development of an extension of

approximately 300 Hectares 1. Collecting of larvae by means of collectors and laboratory acquisition of larvae.2. Initial Cultivation of Pearl Nets. 3. Intermediate cultivation using small and big lantern net-cages4. Final Cultivation using lantern net cages5. Harvesting

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT“ARGOPECTEN PURPURATUS”

Second Stage• Development of the remaining 350 Hec.

• Implementation of a laboratory or Hatchery and a Processing Plant.

PROCESS IN THE OCEAN

POST HARVEST PROCESS

OBJECTIVE To regulate and promote acuaculture activity in marine waters, continental waters or using brackish waters, as a source of alimentation, employment and income, optimizing the economic benefits in harmony with the environmental preservation and conservation of biodiversity. Scope of application – natural and legal persons/entities who develop acuaculture activities.
