Greek farm FoS certified

The production sites are located in Salamis, the largest island of the Saronic Gulf, located in an uninhabited bay surrounded by low forest trees and bushes. The installations include 27 inland based pools for the pre-fattening of juveniles, 15 sea based cages for feeding 100m from the coast, and packing facilities.

According to FoS, in order to reduce escapes of farmed eggs, larvae and species, the inland-based pools are equipped with filters. The potential environmental impacts are managed and controlled properly, preventing impact on the surrounding ecosystem and managing waste appropriately. A 100 KW photovoltaic park was installed to meet the company's energy needs.

An efficient traceability system is in place, so that the fish are fully traced from eggs, throughout their life’s history on the farms, to the product line.

"We at Argosaronikos respect the environment and deeply believe in sustainable development,” said Raftopoulos Tassos, managing director, and Laina Chara, commercial director of Argosaronikos. “We are particularly fond of the Friend of the Sea certification, as it provides an international third party confirmation of our full engagement to sustainability."
