(CHILE, 3/15/2019)
Atlantic salmon producing firm Sixty South is building a new sustainable hatchery farm 45 kilometres north of Porvenir, Tierra del Fuego.
According to the firm producing high-quality, ASC-certified salmon in Antarctic waters without any antibiotics, this 4-stage facility will enable it to produce 12 million smolts of 120 grams per year, or 3 million every quarter.
“What's unique is the facilities being all indoors to ensure greatest control over the entire production process,” reads the firm’s statement.
