Sea bass and gilthead sea bream are the two marine fish species, which have characterized the development of marine aquaculture in the Mediterranean basin .The substantial increase in production levels of these two high value species has been possible thanks to the progressive improvement in the technologies involved in the production of fry in hatcheries. As a result of this technological progress more than one hundred hatcheries have been built in the Mediterranean basin, working on these and other similar species. At present the farmed production of these two species that is derived from hatchery produced fry is far greater than the supply coming from the wild.

The availability of "controlled" reproduction techniques generated a production scheme based on a reliable and programmable supply of fry, and it opened the door towards the industrialization of marine aquaculture in the Mediterranean region. This should be considered a milestone for the farming of sea bass and sea bream in the region. The move from the research stage to an industrial production of juveniles, with economic implications, increased the efforts to improve the reliability of these new techniques.

Fjord Marin Turkey's adequate broodstock selection and management system, in order to improve egg and juvenile quality, is progressively highlighted.

Our new hatchery will be activated by the end of 2009. We will continue producing quality juveniles such as previous years and we will supply our own juveniles also offer juvenile supply to the market.
