OUR PRODUCTS

Our production management, implemented with far-sightedness and admirable strictness but without compromising, has always had the health status of fish farms as one of its primary goals.
This goal has largely been pursued in 5 main ways:

  • the purchasing of eggs is guaranteed thanks to carefully selected specialised producers;
  • the strict training of the staff that work at our fish farms;
  • the covering of facilities with nets to limit any contamination by ichthyophagous birds;
  • disinfecting vehicles used for transporting live fish and restrictions on entry for means of transport from other fish farms;
  • adopting systematic vaccination practices, for all new batches of juvenile fish, which has also resulted in the solution to most pathological problems concerning bacteria.

All the above have allowed the S. A. I. S. Group to proudly boast having facilities already recognised by the EU as officially free from viral diseases.
