Pucón/Chile. Approximately a quarter of the world's salmon production comes from Chile. Thus, Chile is the second largest salmon producer in the world, after Norway. "Salmon production consumes a lot of energy and the ecosystem is very sensitive, which increases the need for energy-efficient products and ecological solutions," says Gustavo Ramos, Executive Director of Wilo Chile SpA. "Therefore, we are very pleased about the cooperation with MarineFarm and the supply of efficient pumps for the fish farm "Los Chilcos", one of the first ecological farms in Chile." MarineFarm with more than 15 years of experience is a company 100% dedicated to the production of high-quality salmon and trout products. In 2005 a project for eco-fish farming in Chilcos was developed.
