In a period of seven months, the eggs are received at the Río de la Plata fish farm, Purranque commune, Los Lagos Region, until a 40-gram fish, “alevín”, is achieved. Then it moves to the smoltification fish farm in Lake Llanquihue, Frutillar commune. Thanks to the genetics of Coho salmon, it adapts easily to local geographic conditions, promoting its growth and resistance to diseases such as caligus.
In the Playa Maqui fish farm, located on Lake Llanquihue, the smoltification process is carried out. In six months, the fish will reach an average weight of 250 grams and will be ready to enter the sea.
It begins with the sowing of the smolts in the sea, where the fish will remain between eight to nine months, until they reach an average weight of 3.5 kilos. Fattening takes place mainly in estuarine waters, especially suitable for the development of this species. This activity is carried out under the highest standards: BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) and ASC (Aquaculure, Stewardship Council).
Fish are harvested in wellboats, boats that ensure their transport in optimal conditions of quality and safety, to be transferred to the Camanchaca processing plants. The primary activity is carried out at the San José Plant, Calbuco. This process basically consists of the killing and gutting of the fish.
The modern processing plant located in Tomé, Biobío Region, has a processing capacity of up to 7,000 tons of raw material per month, thanks to its state-of-the-art technology. The great productive flexibility allows different products and formats: whole fish, fresh and frozen fillets, portions, and products with higher added value, such as harasu and salmon pulp. Production certified under the BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices).
