Fusion Marine has completed a fish farm pen order worth over €300,000 for a bass and bream farming operation in Malta.
The company has successfully installed 19 Oceanflex and five Aquaflex pens at the Pisciculture Marine De Malte Ltd (known as P2M) farm site on the north side of the Mediterranean island.
P2M has completely refurbished and upgraded its farm site by replacing old rubber pens with a modern ultra-tough Fusion Marine polyethylene constructed farming system, in a project supported by the European Fisheries Fund (EFF).
The 60m Oceanflex and 40m Aquaflex three-ring pens are said to be ideal for exposed farming locations, with their durable and flexible construction designed to withstand extreme weather conditions.
Anton Borg of P2M said: “The containment and health of our stock is our number one priority and this is why we opted for Fusion Marine pens, which have a proven track record for their toughness and versatility.”
P2M was founded in 1990 and has grown into Malta’s leading fish farm operator producing over 1,000 tonnes of sea bass, bream and meagre per annum, and employing more than 40 people between its farm and processing operations. The fish are sold whole on ice to the European Union, principally Italy.
