Fry

Selonda has always been a leader in fry production and sales both in Greece and the Mediterranean.

Our company commenced fry production at the beginning of the 1990s with the construction of a small hatchery at Selonda Bay, mainly to cover the needs of our own fish farms. Selonda essentially achieved its leading position in fry production in 1994 by acquiring and adding to its capacity the large hatchery in Managouli and primarily in 1998, when the third and most advanced hatchery in Thesprotia began operation.

Today, Selonda operates 6 modern hatcheries with a total production capacity of over 180 million fry. The fry production primarily serves the needs of our own company’s on-growing farms, domestic customers (~40 million juveniles) and export customers (~10 million juveniles).

The most significant accomplishment for Selonda throughout these years is its consolidation of the fry market and reputation with customers as the most reliable company in the sector.

  • High-quality
