Acuinuga works to provide comprehensive services, technical assistance and products for the production and feeding of aquatic species. To achieve this, it divides its activities into two divisions:
Aquaculture
The main objective of this division is to provide comprehensive services to producers of aquatic species. Spain ranks second in the European Union in per capita consumption of seafood products, behind only Portugal.
In Spain, the aquaculture sector has experienced strong growth in recent years. A large part of this activity takes place in Galicia, due to the intensive farming of mollusks, crustaceans, and marine and freshwater fish.
However, despite the constant increase in the number of commercially important cultivable species, the technical support available to the industry appears insufficient, as a sufficiently specialized professional network has not yet been developed to meet the producer’s needs.
Considering all of the above, and to achieve the aforementioned objective, we have structured the Aquaculture division into three main areas of action.
Nutrition
In this division, we strive to offer you the best technical services, the latest knowledge, and the most innovative products in the field of animal production.
In our field of work, it is very common to find that feed accounts for 50% of total production costs. But in addition to its economic relevance, nutrition plays a fundamental role in the health, reproduction, and other essential aspects of aquatic animal production.
At the ACUINUGA Nutrition Division, we are convinced of the need to dedicate efforts to improving animal nutrition in Aquaculture. And although there are marked differences in the nutrition of various commercially important aquatic species, it is also true that there are common aspects in their digestive physiology that are of fundamental importance in the development of effective products.
With a multidisciplinary professional team, trained in the best educational centers, and backed by extensive international experience in the aquatic animal production industry, we offer our solid technical support for the nutrition of aquatic species, both freshwater and saltwater.
