CRIAR Programme-Bivalvos Breeder
Who we are
We are a “laboratory” of IBMPAS (Alte Storni Institute of Marine and Fishing Biology) and the central office of sea-culture. We are a professional team of technicians and biologists. Our “building” (700 m2) is made up of breeding rooms, a greenhouse for micro-alga production, ware-houses, machine room, tanks, laboratories, offices and exposition rooms. We are situated on the north-west coast of San Matías Bay, 3 Km. from “Las Grutas” sea-side resort on motorway 2 that joins San Antonio (West) to “Las Grutas”. We were founded in March 1997.
What we do
Our aim is to promote the development of sea-culture all along the Río Negro coast and Argentine littoral.
CRIAR’s principal work-lines are orientated towards:
· Investigation into the reproductive biology of commercially important marine species.
· The development of culture production technology.
· Technical and knowledge information to companies and producers.
· Culture technology capacitation in marine-farming and breeding.
· The propagation of sea-culture by way of expositions.
How we do it
Investigation projects and technological development: Advanced technology in sea-shell seeds and fish-farmsDeveloped systems of sea-shell cultures and fish-farmsReproductive cycle studies of marine speciesDevelopment of new materials and structures in cultures.
Technologically transferible projects: The development of commercial and pilor scales of culture production.
Private and public assessmentTechnical capacitation to teachers, technicians and producers
Propagation projects
CRIAR opens its door: a permanent sea exposition, open to the public.
Why we do it
-Because we think that water-culture is a fabulous alternative in a world that over-exploits acuatic resources.-Because water-culture is environment-friendly, taking the pressure of fishing and responding to world demand for acuatic products.
-Because the technological development lowers the use of natural environments and increases the use of highly controlled closed systems which have a low impact.
-Because water-culture generates jobs and food production activity on a world-wide scale of growth
-Because water-culture adds and multiplies instead of taking away.
We want to change the mere fishing image of our country to an image of acuatic resources production.
