Stolt plans to increase their sole production eightfold, expanding from 1,400 tonnes this year to 11,400 tonnes in 2035 Stolt Sea Farm is producing sole in a state-of-the-art RAS “The real challenge is to look for places where we can expand, but we have made excellent progress in this field in the two species,” explains Rubén Faraldo, Stolt’s fish division director. Given that the company already produces over 50 percent of Europe’s farmed turbot and close to 50 percent of its farmed sole, such an expansion would see them dominate the continent’s farmed flatfish sector. Meanwhile they aim to increase their sole production eightfold, expanding from 1,400 tonnes this year to 11,400 tonnes in 2035. This would see their turbot production increase from 5,600 tonnes to 11,900 tonnes. The facilities at Cervo not only illustrate the dual species approach of the company but also offer a glimpse of an ambitious expansion strategy, with a target of 23,000 tonnes of combined production by 2035. Stolt’s Cervo farm, in northern Galicia, offers an excellent perspective of both where the company comes from and where it plans to go, featuring both a pioneering flow-through system for turbot and a state-of-the-art recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) for sole.
