HISTORY


However everything starts in 2001 with a research project for the exploitation of the Tawera Gayi clam which was promoted by the Fishermen Union of Chiloe an organization that since the inception the company has been working together in the artisan extraction of the clam.

From its beginnings to ensure that the extraction would be carried out adequately the National Fisheries Service SERNAPESCA designated the Centre of studies and development Pesquero Sur Austral CEPSA to monitor its activity. Since 2007 this work is performed by Chinquihue Foundation.


The extractions were performed using a small scale fishing diving technique ensuring the conservation and maintenance of the seabed, and always in Type A certified water rated by the European Union the highest quality rating that gives greater value to the product and increases the demand on the market.


Each month we produce up to 400 tonnes of Julian Tawera Gayi clams, involving approximately one hundred fishermen in the extraction.
