France Haliotis: Europe’s only abalone hatchery

Starred chefs buy the ormeaux and seaweed of Plouguerneau, and the team that rears the spat explains how its farm does it.

About this event


France Haliotis runs the only abalone hatchery in Europe. Its team sets out halioculture and algoculture: the biology of the ormeau and of the seaweeds, the secrets of their reproduction, and the rearing of the spat from nought to two centimetres. Photographs and film carry the visit through the growing methods used on land and at sea, the production gear, and what the farm does to protect the natural resource. Recipe ideas close it.
