About Us
VARS Aquaculture
Since 2017, VARS Aquaculture has supported hatcheries with high-performance live feed and nutritional solutions designed to improve reliability, increase yields, and drive measurable results.
What began with targeted rotifer trials in Türkiye has evolved into a growing network of technical partnerships across South Korea, the Middle East, Canada, and beyond. Today, our products and protocols power hatchery systems across species and environments — backed by real-world performance data and continuous on-site support.
Core Strengths
Our mission is to improve hatchery performance while supporting responsible aquaculture practices. By optimizing feeding strategies and reducing input waste, we contribute to more resilient, cost-effective operations — with sustainability built into the system.
Proven solutions for rotifer, artemia, and microalgae production, supported by technical trials and on-site deployment.
Advanced formulations, including moist pellet feeds for Bluefin Tuna, designed to maximize energy transfer and reduce waste.
We help clients run structured trials with clear KPIs to validate improvements in feed efficiency, larval development, and production cost.

The Beginning
With a vision to revolutionize the aquaculture industry, our company was founded in 2017. Our initial focus was on introducing innovative live feed solutions to enhance hatchery performance and fish farming efficiency.
First Trial in Türkiye
Shortly after our inception, we launched our first market trial in Türkiye, aiming to test and validate our high-quality aquaculture products in a dynamic and rapidly growing market.
Expanding the Portfolio
Building on our early success, we expanded our product range to include the highest grade of Artemia, a critical component for hatchery success. That same year, we collaborated with the country's largest producer to run a successful trial focused on hatchery improvement, further proving the effectiveness of our solutions.
Innovation in Tuna Feed Production
Our company took a significant step forward by designing and producing live feed solutions specifically tailored for tuna fish production. This innovation was developed in our Urla facility, positioning us as pioneers in the Bluefin tuna farming sector.

Portfolio Expansion
Our commitment to providing top-tier aquaculture solutions continued as we added several new products, including high-quality wheat gluten—a valuable protein source for fish feed formulations.
Entering the Salmon Market
With a focus on diversification, we began importing fertilized salmon eggs, further expanding our reach into the cold-water aquaculture sector.
Research & Development in South Korea
As part of our continuous innovation, we launched an R&D and design initiative for Olive Flounder farming in South Korea—one of the world's leading regions for flounder aquaculture. Additionally, we attended South Korea’s most prestigious aquaculture fair, strengthening our connections and market presence in the region.
