FARM FOR CULTURED BLACK SEA CLAM "AQUA SHELS"

The present investment project envisages the construction of a cultivated black sea shell farm in the Kavarna Bay area of ​​Kavarna on an innovative technology patented by the Norwegian company Smart Farm AS, which makes shellfish production easier and more profitable than traditional production. The farm is a floating structure with flexible, abrasion-free floating lines and suitably located uninterruptible collectors (30 pieces) whose buoyancy is achieved by buoys located at the edges and the rigidity of the line is provided by pairs of metal anchors at the edges. This type of construction guarantees easy maintenance and quick repairs at low cost. The farm has an all-year round of work, post-construction is planned and a total of seven full-time employees are recruited, incl. one manager and six manufacturing staff. The annual production, based on the average yield of the collector network (12000 kg per collector net, according to the flow scheme) amounts to 360 000 kg per year. The black clam (Mytilus Galloprovincialis) is a divisional organism in which the discarded sex products are fertilized externally, the formed larva leads a planktonic lifestyle and is driven by the water currents looking for a comfortable substrate for gripping, such as the collectors of the mussel farm. In this regard, the line collectors mounted essentially represent investments in the reproductive and production process, as during the spring-autumn propagation period on the surface of the variegated larvae (spat), which subsequently grows to mussels of the desired commercial size. This project proposal also provides for investments to ensure the safety, hygiene, health and working conditions of workers in the Mussel Farm, which include the purchase of personal protective equipment and special workwear, tailored to the nature of the work, the climatic and meteorological conditions of the area.
