We welcomed the Undersecretary of Fisheries and Aquaculture, @Osvaldo Urrutia, to our facilities, where we had the opportunity to discuss the impact of iRAS technology and the regulatory challenges facing the industry. We are sharing an excerpt from the interview conducted during his visit:
What role do you believe land-based cultivation technology and individual recirculation systems play in the national strategy for a more resilient and biosecure aquaculture?
“It is a necessary step within the aquaculture process, but what we are seeing here is the standard that aquaculture must aim for in the future: the incubation, the health management, the way the tanks operate… it really is a very impressive standard. It is an example from Puerto Montt and southern Chile to the world.”
How is work being done so that technical regulations do not lag behind innovations such as the circular economy?
“We are open to receiving proposals from the private sector, so that new standards of innovation and technology that can benefit the entire sector can gradually be included and incorporated, including what we are seeing here in this fish farm.”
At Lago Sofía, we reaffirm our commitment to leading by example, demonstrating that Chilean technology has the capacity to set the global benchmark in biosecurity and sustainability.
