Interesting facts about Swiss salmon

Do you offer public farm tours?

Unfortunately, we are unable to organise public farm visits for biohygiene reasons. As we do not use antibiotics or other medicines, the risk of foreign germs entering the system through farm visits would be too great.

Is recirculating aquaculture technology really better?

Net pens contribute to the poor image of aquaculture. The technology of closed recirculation systems is the most complex type of aquaculture and is particularly resource-efficient; it reduces the need for fresh water to 2%. We have one of the best and most modern water treatment plants for fish farms in the world. We even use denitrification, which some Swiss sewage treatment plants do not have. This means that no germs or impurities can enter the Moesa. In this way, we offer an ecologically more sensible and sustainable alternative to salmon production.

What do you feed your salmon with?

The fish food we use is produced in France and is free from ethoxiquin. It is composed of the following ingredients: Fish meal, wheat gluten, maize gluten, soya meal (non GMO), faba beans, wheat, starch, fish oil and rapeseed oil. The proportion of fishmeal in fish feed has been continuously reduced over the last 10 years and still amounts to 20%. The proportion of fish oil in fish feed is 15%. We are working with a research institute and feed producer on a project in which the fishmeal content is partially replaced with insect meal.

What do you do with the fish waste?

We supply usable fish waste such as offcuts to specific caterers. We sell fish heads and offal to pet food producers. The remaining waste is processed into biogas.

Can the fresh salmon fillets be eaten raw as sashimi or prepared as sushi?

We source our salmon eggs from Iceland, which are guaranteed to be free from viruses and diseases. Our salmon grow up in an indoor facility and are parasite-free. The fresh salmon fillets can therefore be eaten raw as sushi or sashimi without freezing.
