A PORTUGUESE COMPANY

Our history

Aqualvor was founded in 1994 with a clear goal: becoming a key player in the aquaculture production of sea bream and sea bass in conveyor tanks.

Since then, we've been investing in innovation and expansion of our activities, by increasing the installed capacity with the construction of more pre-fattening tanks, testing laboratory, as well as the automation of all of our systems.

In a market that's constantly growing, we know that innovation plays a key role and sets us apart from the rest.

Desta forma, fomos ao longo dos anos participando em diversos projetos ligados à sustentabilidade, valorização e otimização dos recursos e ecossistemas e em 2019 demos inicio à “Certificação GLOBALG.A.P. – o referencial global para as boas práticas agrícolas”, porque nos preocupamos por apresentar uma aquacultura segura e sustentável a nível mundial.

Also in 2019, we registered our brand Aqualvor, because all the growth prospects remain high and, since then, we need to maintain our reference image in the market for over 25 years.

Trust and Accountability are key aspects of Aqualvor's philosophy, maintaining a frank and satisfying relationship with all its business partners, for more than 25 years.

IN THE HEART OF ALVOR

Our Facilities

Aqualvor is located in the Ria de Alvor natural reserve, in the municipality of Lagos, Algarve region, and has the facilities to provide you with the best high-quality fish, always with respect for the environment and with a focus on the quality of its product.

SUSTAINABILITY

Environment

The Ria de Alvor is an estuary with about 350 hectares of sandbanks, mudflats, and salt marshes, where freshwater meets the saltwater from the sea, creating a salinity gradient that, combined with the dynamics of the tides and the presence of nutrients, allows large biodiversity.

The fact that we are located on the Ria de Alvor, with a water quality that has been protected for over 20 years, gives our fish unique and genuine flavors and textures since they are fed daily with natural nutrients from the tidal waters of the Ria de Alvor, whose quality is constantly watched and monitored.

It's because of the high standard quality of our fish that we are considered a key player company in the Portuguese aquaculture market.
