Peixe Vivo, Brazil
Seeing the rapid surge of tilapia farming in the Santa Fé do Sul region in Brazil, Emerson Esteves recognized the need to produce high quality PL to support business activity in the area. He founded Peixe Vivo: a medium-scale hatchery specialized in tilapia.
A close eye for detail, controlled hygiene and temperature conditions and a thorough perfection of feeding technologies led him to obtain an impressive 99% survival rate and a solid reputation in the local market.
Closely controlled conditions and a thorough perfection of feeding technologies eliminate risks in the fragile hatchery stage.
