As summer draws to a close in the northern hemisphere, it’s a different kind of “back to school” for our team in Chile. The austral spring is approaching, and with it, the start of the most demanding season for salmon farming. Rising water temperatures, shifting currents, and a higher risk of harmful algal blooms (HABs), this year made even more uncertain by the possible development of a Super El Niño — put pressure on every site manager’s calendar.

To meet this critical period alongside our clients, BiOceanOr is reinforcing its team on the ground in Chile.

Support and Expertise Where It Matters Most

Chile is one of the world’s largest salmon-producing countries, and also one of the most exposed to environmental risk. HAB events in 2016, 2021, 2023 and 2024 have each cost the industry dearly.

Being close to our clients, understanding each site’s reality, and reacting fast when conditions shift is essential. That’s why we’ve chosen to grow our local presence, with a team dedicated to supporting Chilean producers day to day, from onboarding to technical and commercial follow-up.

“This is a critical season for our clients in Chile, and our whole team is ready to be by their side, helping them anticipate risk and make it their most productive season yet.”
— Mariano Rodriguez Fabeiro, Aquaculture Commercial Manager, BiOceanOr

A Season Under Close Watch

Warmer waters and lower dissolved oxygen levels
A higher risk of HABs
An added layer of uncertainty this year with El Niño conditions

Anticipating these changes, not just reacting to them, is what BiOceanOr’s tools are built for and what our local team is delivering on the ground to support our clients every day.
