Our ecosystem

Far more than just a fish factory

At Localfish, we rely on a sustainable circular system that takes equal account of the environment, animal welfare and people. Our local fish farms work in a resource-conserving and CO₂-neutral way, with minimal land consumption. Through innovative water reuse and our zero-waste principle, we reduce waste to a minimum and conserve natural resources. In this way, we create real added value for nature and society - far beyond traditional fish farming.

KNOW YOUR FOOD!

Our Localfish Story

Shortest transport routes

97% of fish are imported into Switzerland - not our taste. While in practice the products are often on the road for days or weeks and travel countless kilometers, we do everything in-house from birth to processing without the fish having covered a single kilometer. 30km instead of 8000km - your fish shouldn't clock up more air miles than you do.

OUR

CERTIFICATIONS

99.5% of the water remains in the circuit

Our circular system allows us to reduce water consumption to a
minimum and thus conserve natural resources. Our roof is designed in such a way that it collects rainwater and feeds it into the cycle. In this way
we manage practically without fresh water from the groundwater, which is unique in the world
.

Using our own energy correctly

We generate our own electricity thanks to our own solar system.
Our facilities are built in such a way that we can produce with maximum energy savings
. We use the waste heat from our processing to heat our rooms at
and to dry our animal feed. The water remains in circulation and
therefore retains its temperature, which is why it does not need to be heated or cooled.

No space? No problem! Minimal space requirement

For 1kg of fish, we only need around 0.025 square meters of land -
a top value worldwide compared to all protein sources. Fun fact: for
the production of the entire Swiss fish requirement, we would need an area
of only around 50 football pitches.

Sustainable fish food at LocalFish

Conventional fish feed is often based on wild-caught fish, which pollutes the oceans and promotes bycatch. LocalFish takes a sustainable approach:

Our feed contains no catch or by-catch and is made from carefully selected by-products from other industries. With this approach, we pollute the oceans and lakes 0%.

Together with a Swiss feed manufacturer, we have developed a sustainable recipe that guarantees the highest quality - for healthy fish and an intact environment.

CO2-neutral production

Thanks to a highly efficient ecosystem approach and
integrated energy system where we do not have to heat a large part of the water, energy costs are reduced. With 1.45 kgCO2 per kg of fish, we have by far the lowest CO2
consumption of all protein producers and are even CO2-neutral compared to
fishing!
