PiscifactorÃa Sierra Nevada (PSN), the Spanish sturgeon farming company, has been certified by Friend of the Sea for its sustainability.
With over 50 years of experience in fish farming operating two of the largest sturgeon farms in Europe - Riofrio Andalucia and Yesa Navarra, today PSN is one of the largest sturgeon farms in the world, the largest Acipenser naccarii breeder and the only farm to obtain organic certification for both its sturgeon and its caviar.
In AndalucÃa and in all areas of the world where sturgeon fishing was common, huge sturgeon population almost became extinct because of over fishing, the construction of dams and the deterioration of their natural habitat.
PSN has a wealth of experience in the breeding of this native Mediterranean sturgeon and today has the largest sturgeon population of the Acipenser naccarii sturgeon in the world, with continued effort to preserve wild stocks and produce sustainable caviar of the highest quality.
"We can now proudly confirm that Friend of the Sea has certified the sustainability of the full cycle of sturgeon and caviar production at PSN," said Philippe Barbier, quality manager of PSN.
Friend of the Sea is the only certification scheme which, with the same seal of approval, certifies both wild and farmed sustainable seafood.
