Sustainability

Responsible Farming Practices

At Omega Azul, we maintain a strong commitment to responsible aquaculture practices that prioritize the health and well-being of our fish at every stage of the closed lifecycle, from egg collection to their introduction into the deep and crystalline waters of the Sea of Cortez to grow as sustainably as possible in their natural habitat, employing low-stress management techniques and optimal densities, achieving a balance with our terrestrial and marine environment.

By fostering a harmonious interaction between our fish and their environment, we establish an ethical and environmentally respectful aquaculture. This means that by locating ourselves close to the coast at each of our processing points, we can offer a healthy and sustainable food production system with a considerably low carbon footprint compared to other animal proteins available such as beef or pork.

Furthermore, being close to our most important key markets such as the United States and Mexico allows us to achieve better results in reducing our carbon footprint compared to other imported seafood products.

Ecosystem Preservation

Our dedication to ecosystem preservation drives every aspect of our operations in the Sea of Cortez. We recognize the delicate balance of this marine environment and work tirelessly to protect its biodiversity and vitality. Our commitment includes comprehensive water quality management, the preservation of native species, and the implementation of innovative practices that minimize our ecological impact. By nurturing the Sea of Cortez’s natural resilience, we aim to leave a lasting legacy of sustainability for generations to come.

Transparency

Transparency lies at the core of Omega Azul’s dedication to responsible aquaculture. We are dedicated to offering you a comprehensive insight into our practices, giving you a clear understanding of how we ensure the well-being and vitality of our fish. As part of this commitment, we present the latest ectoparasite report, which highlights our proactive measures to safeguard their health. Our vigilant monitoring, responsible farming techniques, and unwavering pursuit of best practices collectively contribute to maintaining a nurturing environment that fosters growth and well-being.

Traceability

Each Kanpachi’s journey is meticulously documented, allowing you to trace your fillet back to its source in the Sea of Cortez. Our advanced tracking systems provide you with a clear understanding of the sustainable practices and responsible sourcing behind every exquisite bite. We are proud to share the story of your Kanpachi’s origin, from the pristine waters it calls home to the ethical methods used in its cultivation.

Community Involvement

Our initiatives extend beyond the realm of seafood, contributing to job creation, economic growth, and enhanced food security. Through collaborative partnerships and local engagement, we strive to uplift the well-being of our communities, reflecting our belief in fostering a holistic and sustainable approach to responsible aquaculture.

Feeding the Future

Nutrition plays a fundamental role in the cognitive development of individuals from childhood onward. Essential nutrients such as proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals are necessary for the proper functioning of the brain and other major organs like the heart.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), found in omega-3 fatty acids, is crucial for brain function and vision development. Adequate DHA intake from early childhood is associated with better cognitive performance in both childhood and adulthood. This is why we are deeply committed to producing a healthy kanpachi rich in these nutrients, aiming to promote healthier future generations.
