The award ceremony was held in the presence of all members of the Capeahuapi center, as well as executives from Marine Farm and BioMar. Instance where the Commercial Manager of BioMar, Gabriela Heim, offered words of welcome and the General Manager of Marine Farm, Roberto Riethmüller, expressed his gratitude to the workers, highlighting the commitment, effort and dedication of the entire team.
From the point of view of food and nutrition, the technical director of BioMar Chile, Michael Adler, highlights the optimal use of diets and functional strategies that the center carried out throughout the production cycle, pointing out that “Assist Skin is specially designed to ensure good skin health, promoting animal welfare, reducing the risk of infection and disease, along with achieving excellent skin quality, a very important attribute in the case of cohos. While, Assist Jaundice is specifically formulated to prevent and reduce the impact of HSMI in coho salmon: it strengthens the fish’s immune system, modulates inflammation, controls oxidative stress, while protecting and recovering the fish’s cardiovascular and liver function. . Thanks to these nutritional strategies and the great work carried out, the Capeahuapi team managed to prevent and control health challenges, which in turn guaranteed excellent productive results and a high-quality final product.
For his part, the head of the center, Claudio Delgado, referred to the importance of the achievement, considering the challenging conditions that the place experienced, noting that “the center was planted in May 2023 and harvested in February 2024. Despite adverse environmental conditions, such as HAB and low oxygen levels, teamwork, the experience of the members, the application of best practices and the use of BioMar diets and functional strategies, allowed us to obtain excellent productive results and a product high-quality finish.”
It should be noted that Marine Farm’s Capeahuapi center stands out for its productive excellence and for being at the forefront in the production of coho salmon. Thus, the Farming Center team obtained the BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) certification in November of last year, validating its high quality standards and its concern for the environment, animal welfare and local communities.
