Hand in hand with the new aquaculturists

by Carlos Espinal, LandIng Aquaculture

LandIng Aquaculture is a young company which started from a wish to offer unique professional opportunities in aquacultural engineering. Looking back, we can see that the principles the company was founded on were not just our own but were also shared by many other aquaculture professionals from our generation.
 

These new aquaculturists -which have become our partners, clients, friends and colleagues- have shown us that we all share some important common values. For example, we have a long-term vision for the industry, one which is maintained through sustained effort and sacrifice. We show LandIng Aquaculture has initiative and perseverance, honed by our academic and professional trainings. We appreciate the power of good technical knowledge   to turn ideas into reality, but we also see trust, honesty and friendship as pillars of good business practice.

We want to introduce our readers to some of these young professionals, to give some grounded examples of what we mean.

The new generation of aquaculture inside the EU
SEAentia- is a Portuguese startup with a vision to provide affordable, sustainable and high-quality seafood, in the form of boneless white fillets and whole fish. They have chosen the fast-growing Corvina (Argyrosomus regius) for this purpose. The idea started by researchers João Rito and Nuno Leite, five years ago.

In these years we have been helping them to conceptualise and design their farms and study the economic feasibility of their business plans. They have grown their team, raised funding and technical support and achieved several excellence awards; and they are just getting started. Being only a few months away from starting their first facility, they will use it to study the zootechnical performance of meagre in RAS. With a rapidly changing climate and developing seafood markets, they are embarking in this journey for the right reasons.
