by
Suzi Fraser
Izar Fene Shipyard, part of the second biggest
marine group in Europe and ninth in the world, in
collaboration with Itsazi Aquaculture has developed an
off-shore unit for the breeding, fattening and
transport of the bluefin tuna (Thunnus Thynuus). This
unit sails at 8 knots, and is able to transport living
tuna from the Mediterranean to Japan, for example.
The proposed concept, combines a unique fish farming
facility with a modern marine design to produce an
offshore unit capable of purchasing young Tuna Fish in
the selling centres, fattening of 1200 t of Tuna in
nine months in hot water areas improving the
efficiency of the growing process and travel to the
fish markets delivering the fish at best prices.
