FRESHWATER
Currently, we operate with two of our own freshwater hatcheries and two outsourced hatcheries. The latter two involve the primary phases, incubation and hatching, and the process is then continued in our own two freshwater hatcheries where they complete the alevin and smoltification phases. All the hatcheries are land based and open-flow and allow for the production of over 6,000,000 smolts per year.
SALTWATER
We have 48 concessions located in strategic zones in the regions of Los Lagos and Aysén, which have the latest-generation technology and automatized processes that allow an efficient and intelligent operation to safeguard the wellbeing of our salmon and achieve optimum development. We also have video monitoring tools, underwater HD monitoring cameras, automatic feed systems, and exclusive embarkations for our company’s use, among other resources that are part of Yadran.
PROCESSING PLANT
Our processing plant is located in Quellón on Chiloé Island, the southernmost port in Los Lagos Region and the port of entry for embarkations originating in the region of Aysén. The installation is adjacent to our own waiting cages with direct pumping of live salmon, which permits flexibility and continuity in the processes, in that it offers efficient optimization of the production schedule, achieving a cage-to-packaging time for fresh unfrozen products of 3.5 hours. The plant has lines for whole salmon, fillets, and different fresh and frozen portion presentations, as well as machinery for gutting, filleting, trimming, deboning, scaling, and packaging, in addition to continuous refrigeration and freezing tunnels.
