Fish Farming Technology

INARCTICA PJSC is a leader in the aquaculture segment in Russia. We are building our vertically integrated business in the salmon aquaculture market from growing salmon fry and selling directly to the biggest clients, i.e., retail chains and fish processing enterprises.

To clean fish from sea louse, the Company uses a proprietary delousing system consisting of four lines.

Salmon bounce on  m during spawning.

Up until the middle of the 20th century, only record‑breaking pole vaulters had reached such heights

The production process begins with the egg planting in our smolt plants located in the Kaluga and Nizhny Novgorod Regions, as well as the Republic of Karelia. Within 7 to 9 months, the smolt (fry) is reared to a weight of 80–120 g.

The smolt is then transported in special live‑fish trailers to fish farms in the Murmansk Region and freshwater farms in the Republic of Karelia owned by INARCTICA PJSC. Modern underwater cameras and automatic feeding systems are installed in every fish farm to keep an eye on the health of the fish. Special extruded feed of the highest quality is purchased to feed the fish. Feed is carried on INARCTICA's own vessel.

The fish are reared for 15–20 months to commercial weight (5.5 kg for salmon and 4.5 kg for trout). The Company's employees at the fish farms strictly monitor compliance with production regulations. To ensure farm efficiency, the Company uses 11 passenger vessels to transport people, 11 catamarans for equipment installation and farm maintenance, and workboats. Engineering, support, diving and net bag service put in place in INARCTICA PJSC have a wealth of experience. In addition, the Company has a dedicated biological service that monitors the health of fish at all stages of growth.

We begin harvesting fish once they are of a marketable size. It uses three in‑house live fish carriers with a combined capacity of up to 290 tonnes of commercial fish per day. The fish are transported to INARCTICA's fish‑processing plants, where they are slaughtered, gutted and packaged. The maximum processing capacity is 218 tonnes per day.

We sell fish through distributors and directly to retailers. The products are supplied under its own INARCTICA brand. We have direct agreements with leading chains and processing enterprises. Our supply chain guarantees prompt delivery to destination cities (2–3 days to cities in Central Russia). We do this to make it possible for our customers to buy ultra‑fresh products at stores and restaurants.

We started producing fillets and steaks in 2022.
