Case Study: Bringing the SV12 Rotifer Protocol to Kılıç, with Japan's Chlorella Experts On Site

In February 2019 the boxes from Chikugo arrived at the Kılıç hatchery — and so did the people who invented the protocol. What implementing SV12 with Chlorella Industry's Japanese engineers actually looked like, in photos.

Sea bass and sea bream are the volume species, alongside meagre, amberjack, rainbow trout, shrimp, blue crab and oysters. Sizes, grades and presentation — whole gutted, fillet, fresh or frozen — are set per order, because a retail chain and an airline caterer need different things from the same fish.

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 — every shipment is monitored with temperature loggers and a report is shared with you. Chilled seafood and eyed ova move in insulated, temperature-controlled packaging, and the logger record travels with the consignment so the receiving side can verify the whole journey rather than trust a claim.

By whichever the cargo tolerates. Eyed ova, fresh fish and HORECA orders go by air freight because hours matter. Frozen seafood, Artemia cysts, microalgae powder and feed ingredients travel by reefer or dry container, which is materially cheaper per kilo and perfectly safe for those products.

A commercial invoice and packing list, a health or veterinary certificate for products of animal origin, a certificate of origin, and the certificate of analysis or technical datasheet for the batch. EU-bound consignments are additionally pre-notified through TRACES. Any extra document your import permit names is added to that set.

Yes, and for HORECA and distributor accounts it is the normal arrangement. We agree a standing volume and delivery day, hold the allocation against it, and adjust ahead of seasonal demand peaks. Continuous programmes also make certification and documentation routine instead of a per-shipment exercise.

For salmonid ova, yes and unavoidably so — supply follows the broodstock stripping and eyeing calendar, which is why ova are reserved ahead rather than ordered off the shelf. Mediterranean seafood is farmed year-round with size grades shifting through the season. Live feed, microalgae and feed ingredients carry no meaningful seasonality.
