Jadran Tuna is owned by fishing families that represent the tradition and history of Croatian fishing. The company owns a large fishing fleet, transport vessels, tug boats and vessels for logistical purposes on the farm.
From Jadran tuna’s beginning until today we have all invested lots of effort to get the company to today’s level. It takes partner’s trust and respect to succeed on traditional Japanese market, and our status on the market is the best witness of commitment of whole Jadran tuna and all our workers.
Our quality is recognized and our effort has paid off.
Milan Mandic, CEO
Due to the exceptionally clear waters, strong currents and high salinity, companies conduct fishing operations in the zone of the Jabuka fishing area – Middle Adriatic sea.
Large numbers of small baitfish can be found in the Jabuka area which attract schools of tuna during the fishing season.
Caught fish generally weighs between 8 and 20 kg. Finally, registered live fish are transported by tug boats in towing cages to our farm which are some 80Nm away.
The farm is located 7Nm from the logistics centre and has a farming capacity of 1760 tons and registered with ICCAT under No. ATEU1HRV00008.
The production farming cycle lasts a minimum of 18 months. During the farming cycle, the tuna fish are fed with small baitfish caught in the Adriatic Sea by our own fleet, and with herring from the North Sea.
When harvested, the tuna is shipped to Japan fresh or frozen on -60°C for the sushi and sashimi market.
