According to the company, the change reflects a stronger integration with the GenoMar Genetics Group, a global leader in tilapia genetics.

GenoMar has been at the forefront of tilapia research and breeding for nearly 35 years, delivering genetically improved fingerlings and juveniles to the industry worldwide.

Even though the name and visual identity are being updated, the company emphasies that it "maintains the same commitment to innovation, biosecurity and high-quality genetics", as well as continues its dedication to the Brazilian market, ensuring the continued supply of Aquabel and GenoMar lines.

The company stresses that these fish are genetically selected for important traits such as growth, survival and disease resistance. Optimised over many generations, they provide significant benefits to both farmers and the processing industry.

“This change is a strategic milestone to further strengthen our market position. It reflects the solidity and tradition of the GenoMar Genetics Group, of which we are proud to be a part. Brazil is the fourth-largest producer of tilapia in the world, and we have significant investments planned for this industry,” said Gustavo Bozano, the company’s global CEO, in a press release.
