Oceano Fresco

Oceano Fresco is an innovative aquaculture company that specializes in the sustainable cultivation of high-value native bivalves, particularly clams. The company operates in the biomarine sector and serves markets that demand premium seafood, including restaurants, wholesalers, and retailers. Oceano Fresco's business model revolves around pioneering scientific research and innovative processes in selective breeding and cultivation. The company has established a world-class Biomarine Center on the West Coast of Portugal, which includes a hatchery and an open sea farm off the Atlantic coast of the Algarve.

The life cycle of their clams begins in the hatchery, where breeders spawn in large quantities. The larvae are then cultivated until metamorphosis, followed by seed cultivation in the hatchery and nursery. After a few months, the seed is transferred to the open sea farm to continue its growth until adulthood. This vertically integrated approach ensures high-quality and sustainable production.

Oceano Fresco generates revenue by selling these premium bivalves at competitive prices, leveraging their unique breeding program to offer products that are both gastronomically and commercially valuable. The company has received Series A investment from BlueCrow Capital and individual investors, which has enabled them to build their state-of-the-art facilities and expand their operations.
