Supporting Global Hatcheries Since 2017

Founded with a vision to standardize high-performance inputs, VARS Aquaculture has evolved from a local trial in Türkiye to a multi-national entity. We provide the critical link between resource-rich origins and high-demand markets across South Korea, the Middle East and Canada.

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 trusted customers and references across South Korea, the Middle East, Canada and beyond. Today, we have had the opportunity to serve and power hatchery systems across species and environments — backed by real-world performance data and continuous on-site support.

A B2B aquaculture supplier registered in İzmir, Türkiye, supplying bio-enhanced live feed, hatchery inputs, salmonid ova, feed ingredients and certified Mediterranean seafood to producers and buyers worldwide.About VARS

Since 2017. The company started with rotifer trials in Türkiye and has grown into a customer and reference network across South Korea, Japan, the Middle East, Canada and Europe.

We source from HACCP-certified facilities and work with ASC, GlobalG.A.P. and IFFO-RS certified supply where the product category supports it — ASC and GlobalG.A.P. for Mediterranean finfish, IFFO-RS for marine feed ingredients. Certification is per facility and per batch, so the certificates that apply to your order are listed on the offer rather than claimed in general.

Yes. Every batch carries origin traceability — for salmonid ova that means back to the broodstock and the hatchery of origin, for seafood back to the farm or catch and the processing facility. Traceability is what makes a health certificate meaningful; without it the certificate only describes paperwork.

Türkiye is one of the Mediterranean's largest producers of farmed sea bass and sea bream, and İzmir sits within reach of both the Aegean farming region and an international airport. That combination is what makes daily fresh air freight to the Gulf and short reefer transit into Europe practical from one origin.

Yes — our project record covers Aegean hatchery rotifer optimisation, the first certified Atlantic salmon ova delivered into South Korea, Japanese hatchery ova supply and RAS modernisation work, with the operators named where they have agreed to be. For a like-for-like reference in your own segment, ask and we will introduce one.See project case studies

Yes. We exhibit at the major international seafood and hatchery expos, and buyers evaluating a supply programme are welcome to visit us in İzmir and see the Aegean supply base. Arrange it ahead of time so the right technical people are there rather than only the commercial team.
