Red drum and gold lined seabream from Ferme de Mahebourg has met the Friend of the Sea (FoS) standard for sustainable seafood. Ferme Marine de Mahebourg is the vision of a group of entrepreneurs who planned to establish an aquaculture operation in Mauritius, becoming the first from the island to reach the FoS standard. According to Graham Benjamin, processing and marketing manager of Ferme Marine de Mahebourg, a key consideration in all aspects of the company is to protect and enhance the environment to ensure the long-¬term future of the business. It was for this reason and to have international recognition for their environmental conservation efforts that the company underwent FoS certification.

The company has two farm sites located on the eastern coast of the island. Both sites were selected after surveys and an environmental impact assessment, to ensure water quality, whilst protecting the environment. Cage nets are checked daily for maintenance preventing any possible escapes. Friend of the Sea had requested analysis of further water quality parameters, which has been carried out positively prior to certification.

The fish in the cages are fed at regular intervals during the day using FoS-certified feed from Coop Agricole Le Gouessant. The feed is certified free from all artificial additives and genetically modified ingredients, ensuring excellent quality of the fish. The company has a hatchery producing up to two million fingerlings annually in a closed system to ensure bio-security of the operations.
