20 YEARS ON THE SPOT

P2M Ltd - MALTA, (September 1992 to September 1993)

Production of 550 tonnes of sea bass and sea bream per year.

Production Manager

My responsibilities included pre-ongrowing, ongrowing and packing. I was in charge of the training of the packing team right after the mechanization of the plant.

The transport of juveniles from Monaco to Malta were among the first to be carried out by boat in the Mediterranean.

Acqua Azzurra - Sicily / ITALY, (April 1995 to August 1998)

Production of 700 tons of sea bass and sea bream in cages and raceways, (470 tons per year in cages and 230 tons per years in raceways).

Production Manager

I supervised the ongrowing in raceways for sea bass, sea bream and new species: Bastard halibut (Paralichthys olivaceus), sharpsnout sea bream (Diplodus puntazzo), common pandora (Pagellus erythrinus) and the ongrowing in offshore cages for sea bass and sea bream. Two types of cages were used: semi-submersible (Farmocean) and flexible (Dunlop and Bridgeston). The concession, located at the southeast end of Sicily, is the most exposed site I know in the Mediterranean.

Ferme Marine de Pinarello - Corsica / FRANCE, (December 1998 to August 2001)

Production of sea bass and sea bream in cages, 160 tons per year.

Production Manager

What a contrast to work in such a small structure after having been working in industrial projects. But my motivation and enthusiasm were intact and contributed to an increase of the production of 70% in two years without further investment.
