Hatchery

Traceability and sustainability originates when the scallops are raised in our Scallop hatchery located at the Vichayo Aquaculture Production Center (CPAV) in Sechura, Peru.

The process begins with the selection of the breeding stock with the best attributes to guarantee strong and healthy offspring.

Farming
During this stage, scallops are periodically sorted to larger mesh-size lanterns and planted at lower densities to allow optimal growth.
Harvest
This process begins after a long follow-up to determine the optimal time for harvest. The maturity variables of the crop organisms should be analyzed as well as considering oceanographic conditions such as water temperature, sea currents and even the phase of the moon.
Processing
The product arrives at the freezing facility after less than 3 hours from harvest-time and is immediately chucked, gutted and cleaned under the most demanding quality standards and the supervision of our Quality Assurance staff.
Distribution
This process begins after a long follow-up to determine the optimal time for harvest. The maturity variables of the crop organisms should be analyzed as well as considering oceanographic conditions such as water temperature, sea currents and even the phase of the moon.
