Stolt Sea Farm S.A. – already holding the Friend of the Sea certification for sustainably farmed turbot – has positively undergone the assessment audit for sole (Solea senegalensis) production, and has been found compliant with all Friend of the Sea requirements for sustainable aquaculture.
The inland plant based in Iceland is composed of three units for the breeding of fries and two other units for the fish growing. Pools are cleaned only with water and chlorine, and no anti-fouling paint is used. No escapes may occur since the effluent tubes are smaller than fishes. The company performs yearly water analysis thus water parameters are constantly under control.
The traceability process is electronically managed. Ponds are numbered and divided into units. All materials used for maintenance, from nursery to growing, are recorded.
“Friend of the Sea certification represents an important added value to our production”, comments Mr. Enrique Corrales, Sales Manager of Stolt Sea Farm. “We are proud to have one more farmed species certified”.
