Stolt Sea Farm S.A has achieved Friend of the Sea certification for its sole (Solea senegalensis) production.

The company already holds FoS certification for sustainably farmed turbot.

The inland plant based in Iceland is composed of three units for the breeding of fries, along with two other units for fish growing. Pools are cleaned only with water and chlorine, and no anti-fouling paint is used. No escapes can occur as the effluent tubes are smaller than the fish. The company performs yearly water analysis, ensuring that water parameters are constantly under control.

The traceability process is electronically managed. Ponds are numbered and divided into units. All materials used for maintenance, from nursery to growing, are recorded.

“Friend of the Sea certification represents an important added value to our production,” said Enrique Corrales, sales manager of Stolt Sea Farm. “We are proud to have one more farmed species certified.”
