Fishy Fish Farm

SAL Fish Pen Inspection

The Guardia Civil and the Servicio de Inspección Pesquera (Junta) discovered that the fishpens off Salobreña that should have been inactive, were producing mussels for sale.

Failed Fish Farms

Salobreña-based fish-farming companies have come and gone and fish pens have multiplied, then almost fizzled out again until obtaining their present state.

Fish Farming Struggles On

Anybody who has visited the beach between La Caleta and the Peñon in Salobreña will have seen the fish-farming pens, washed up and seemingly abandoned there. In fact, one even ended up on Velilla Beach in Almuñécar.

Fish Farm Restarts

Owing to the crisis, the Salobreña and Carchuna pisifactorias (fish farms) have slowly shut down, at first not breeding any more fish and just raising the ones already in the system, and when that concluded, by shutting down the pens as well. They ceased to exist within a year of each other; 2010 & 2011. Now a new company has stepped in to put both farms back into action.
