Projet d'elevage du loup en mer : etude technico-economique du pregrossissement et du grossissement

After 12 years of a difficult start, the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) breeding projects are multiplying. Faced with the constraints presented by the sites used in the past, farming at sea seems to offer conditions more conducive to the growth and survival of the animals. The zootechnical data from the farm makes it possible to link the rate of growth and the thermal profile of the site. Risks and uncertainties still weigh heavily on aquafarming projects, but solutions such as insurance are helping to improve their economic feasibility. The economic and financial analysis comes up with good overall profitability of the project, even if the duration of the breeding cycle and the necessity to ensure a progressive increase in operating capacity make the start-up phase long and not very lucrative.
