SEAentia (SEAentia-Food, Lda.) is a pioneering Portuguese startup, established in September 2017, focusing on sustainable aquaculture. Our mission is to produce high-quality corvina by integrating innovative production methods, cutting-edge technologies, and scientific research.
In 2021, we initiated a trailblazing pilot project in Peniche, focused on corvina aquaculture using Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS). Given that commercial-scale meagre cultivation in RAS is unprecedented, this pilot stage is crucial for data gathering before escalating to larger production scales.
Supported by the MAR2020 program, we developed a RAS to collect essential zootechnical data and assess the project’s economic viability. Over three years, this pilot has been vital for identifying risks, devising mitigation strategies, refining cultivation processes, and training our team in RAS corvina production, laying a solid foundation for scaling up our operations while minimizing financial and operational risks.
SEAentia’s facilities now serve as a hub for our Research and Development (R&D) unit, facilitating collaboration on research projects with esteemed national and international partners. Learn more in our Projects section.
In our forthcoming commercial phase, SEAentia is set to lead in corvina production, managing the full cycle from hatchery to market size through a sustainable and environmentally friendly RAS. We place a strong emphasis on animal welfare and ecological sustainability, underscoring our dedication to the well-being of future generations and the health of our planet.
We aspire to become an international benchmark in aquaculture, venturing into new species with significant commercial potential and consumer appeal. Join us on our journey toward a responsible and innovative future in aquaculture!
