Project for the complete life-cycle to be enlarged
Moreover, previously, this project involved investments of US$ 14 million while now the construction of this facility requires around US$ 73.8 million. Besides, the company expects to start building this freshwater facility by the end of April 2012.
According to the information provided by Salmones Río Coihue to the Environmental Impact Assessment System (SEIA), this project considers a freshwater recirculation system for those fish life stages from eyed eggs to 100 gr. smolts; and a sea water recirculation system from there up to an average harvest weight close to 4.5 Kg.
This project –unprecedented in the country- is planned to be built nearby Puerto Montt in a coastal area which would provide enough sea water to fulfill the requirements of the recirculation system (432.5 liters per second).
