Salmon from Patagonia to the world
In the most southern regions of Chile, between fjords and bays, and in the middle of magnificent glaciers, our salmon from Patagonia grow.
Healthy food
Salmon has long been hailed as a superfood for its nutritional and health benefits. Our commitment to quality and food safety at every level, from traceable genetics through to delivery of delicious, healthy food makes Cermaq salmon a superior choice.
Currently we cultivate two species: Pacific or Coho Salmon and Atlantic Salmon or Salar.
Pacific or Coho salmon
It is characterized by its red color. Its main destinations are Japan, China, Thailand and South Korea.
Atlantic Salmon or Salar.
Versatile and fresh for all kinds of cuts and preparations. Its showy color is very typical of this species.
Magallanes: farming in the Skyring basin
In winter water temperatures reach 4 ° C and the highest do not exceed 12 ° C, averaging 8 ° C during the year. Low temperatures and the contribution of numerous freshwater tributaries provide us with a body of water with low salt content, favouring the optimal sanitary conditions of our fish in Patagonia.
The exclusivity and isolation of the Skyring basin allowed Cermaq to be the first salmon farm in Chile to certify ASC, the most demanding standard when it comes to responsible aquaculture.
