Turbot

The second edition of AquaFuture Spain will take place on 28-30 March at the Feira Internacional de Galicia, near Santiago de Compostella.

Stolt Sea Farm is already one of the leading flatfish farming companies in the West – producing over 7,000 tonnes of turbot and sole in sustainable land-based facilities – and it has ambitious plans to expand.

A range of aquatic species that are both cultured and occur in wild in the Netherlands are due to be monitored for their genetic diversity and then cryopreserved.

Recent tests carried out by researchers with the CTAQUA project in Spain have noted that microplastics can be detected in the digestive tract of farmed fish, but not in edible tissues.

As part of the EU’s assessments of the pandemic’s impact on different farmed fish species, researchers have explored how Covid-19 lockdowns and market upsets affected the trading bloc’s turbot and caviar markets.

Seafarm, which produces turbot in the Netherlands, has become the first in the world to achieve the ASC Flatfish Standard certification.

Stolt Sea Farm, which speicalises in production of turbot and sole, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

Stolt Sea Farm (SSF) has reported revenues of $21.4 million in Q2, up from $13.6 million in the same quarter last year, when the demand for SSF’s products was significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Europe’s largest flatfish farmer, Stolt Sea Farm, has announced that it is evaluating an initial public offering (IPO) of its land-based aquaculture business.

Stolt Sea Farm reported a $12 million drop in the value of its sole, sturgeon and turbot biomass during the first quarter of the year, driven “by a significant drop in market demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic”.

Stolt Sea Farm experienced a record increase in sales of its farmed turbot during 2019, with exports of the species now reaching over 30 countries.

A project that has improved the breeding of six key European fish species is coming to an end this month.
