Spain's Futuna Blue continues to make headway with its tuna hatchery and the transfer of fingerlings to offshore cages in Mediterranean waters. Over 1,300 tuna from the project were successfully weaned at Futuna Blue, transferred from a diet of live feed such as copepods to dry pellets, in this case provided by Skretting.Some 500 or so fingerlings from the project are now held by the Spanish company, some in on-land tanks but most in sea cages owned by the Balfego Group.Though two-thirds of the fingerlings perished in the process of being transferred to the sea cages, it's still considered somewhat of a success in the bluefin tuna sector.
