Discover the Harmony Between Fish Farming and Wildlife Conservation at Esteros Lubimar

Raising Fish in Harmony with the Tides

At Esteros Lubimar, fish are raised in large, semi-natural lagoons, mimicking the rhythms of the wild. With low stocking densities and no need for artificial feeds, the fish enjoy a stress-free, naturally abundant environment. This unique method ensures both exceptional quality and a positive environmental impact.

Raising Fish in Harmony with the Tides

Naturally Fed, Naturally Better

The fish at Esteros Lubimar thrive on a diet of naturally occurring plankton, algae, and low-trophic organisms found in the estuary. This results in a lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) and eliminates the need for commercial fish feeds, leading to a cleaner, more sustainable product.
