Sea bream (Sparus aurata)

 

FINESTA – FINEST WITH COLOURS

Finesta Intro FR (content)

Today’s aquafeeds for farmed sea bream are designed to provide the fish with all the nutritional needs for maximum performance and sound growth. Yet, farmed sea bream may lack some of the attractive colours of its wild counterpart.

Based on commercial field trial results carried out in collaboration with fish farmers, BioMar has designed FINESTA – a finisher diet to intensify the skin colour of sea bream before harvest. By highlighting the vibrant colours of the fish, FINESTA aims to bring extra value to the businesses of fish farmers.

Protect your valuables

Life at sea can be harsh. During a production cycle, sea bream can be exposed to various adverse external conditions that may cause stress or can have a particular effect on the fish robustness, and consequently may affect the farm economy.

  • An adjusted diet fed to the fish during the challenging period can assist the fish to improve performance against such challenges.

  • SmartCare FORTE is designed to assist in providing increased production and performance of sea bream when exposed to external challenges at sea.

How are you coping with winter?

During winter, Mediterranean waters can take a heavy toll on sea bream growing in sea cages. Very low, or even negative, growth rates with weight loss, reduced feed intake, limited capacity of the fish to cover their oxygen needs at low temperatures are common consequences of tough environmental conditions during winter.

  • B-WYSE™ supports the fish against environmental and physical challenges in the farm,

  • including treatment side effects and handling
