Over the years we have employed different farming methods, such as progressing from using tar which is a carcinogenic to food-grade materials in the course of our product’s lifespan. Stocking density is a critical consideration in achieving maximum productivity. Methods over the years are inter-tidal and sub-tidal. We are a progressive and forward-thinking company.
