Alicante Aquaculture is developing an aquaculture plant for the production of Seriola Dumerili in a closed-circuit in the city of Alicante, in Spain. In July 2023 Alicante Aquaculture obtained its final permit and is now ready for construction and subsequent production; and began construction of the plant in November 2023, executed by the well known Spanish company - "CHM".

Founded in April 2019 with the purpose of launching this aquaculture project, Alicante Aquaculture will be partnering with Dibaq, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of food for domestic animals and livestock; with over 30 years of experience, Dibaq is considered and expert in the fields of feed and aquaculture.

The fish will be grown in a closed containment system with a controlled environment, called Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS).

A closed circuit offers a range of advantages over the traditional sea cages for the production of the fish, for instance, the closed circuit guarantees the temperature for the ideal growth of the Amberjack, the quality of the water and the oxygen are under constant control, ensuring that the fish are developing at an optimum speed. A sea cage suffers from the lack of control over the temperature, as the temperature shifts through the seasons, and when the temperature drops, the fish eats less; being in control of the temperature allows for the fish to be in constant growth. Due to the temperature cycles, fish grow a 30% less every year than they do in a closed circuit.

Another advantage of the closed circuit is the fact that the fish are isolated from the sea, which means that the levels of water pollution are under control, as well as any diseases are eradicated and the fish are kept away from any parasites that can be found in the sea. The current loss percentage at sea stands at 15%; 15% of the fish being produced do not make it to the fishing stage, whereas in a closed circuit, the percentage drops to 3-4%.
