Our Aquaculture Services
Waste Valorization & Resource Efficiency
Transform aquaculture by-products into high-value commodities. Through ARL's cutting-edge facility, we convert tuna waste—bones, off-cuts, and by-products—into protein-rich fishmeal, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fish oils for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries, creating new revenue streams from previously discarded materials.
Sustainable Aquaculture Development
Expert guidance on sustainable fish farming operations that balance economic growth with environmental stewardship. We help implement best practices for offshore aquaculture that preserve marine stocks and ecosystems while meeting global demand (FAO, 2022).
Regulatory Compliance & Quality Standards
Comprehensive support for aquaculture regulatory compliance in Malta and the EU. Through the Federation of Maltese Aquaculture Producers, we ensure stringent oversight of operations, marine water quality monitoring, and adherence to international standards.
Industry Advocacy & Representation
Strategic industry representation through the Federation of Maltese Aquaculture Producers. We promote Maltese aquaculture internationally, establish sector-wide best practices, and advocate for policies supporting sustainable growth and marine conservation.
Export Growth & Market Development
Strategic support for aquaculture export markets. We help develop value-added products for food, feed, nutraceutical, and cosmetics industries, creating local jobs while expanding international market presence for Maltese aquaculture producers.
