SWISS LACHS produces salmon for the
Swiss market. Local production guarantees
a freshness never seen before. Our short
transport routes ensure the lowestÂ
possible C02 emissions. Imported salmon
takes up to 5 days to reach the Swiss border.Â
Local Production
The closed recirculation system is the most
technically advanced and elaborated type
of aquaculture. Our water is filtered and
reused seven times, making it particularly
resource-friendly; it reduces the need for
fresh water to 2%. Our energy comes from
the local hydropower plant and is green.
The nutrient-rich filter residues are then
recycled into biogas.
environmentally friendly
SWISS LACHS has a particularly high
quality because all the important
parameters for healthy breeding are
controlled. Thanks to permanent
filtration, our salmon swim in the cleanest
water. We do not use antibiotics,
hormones or other additives. Permanent
monitoring and a strict hygiene protocol
ensure good fish welfare and salmon quality.Â
antibiotic free
Our salmon are not threatened by
parasites, predators or birds of prey and
can grow up stress-free and produce the
valuable proteins, omega 3 fatty acids,Â
vitamins A, D, B12 and iodine.
stress free
We source the salmon eggs from Iceland,
these are guaranteed virus and disease
free. Our salmon are raised in an indoor
facility and are parasite free. The freshÂ
salmon fillets can therefore be consumed
raw as sushi or sashimi without freezing
treatment.Â

Interesting facts about Swiss Lachs
Unfortunately, for biohygienic reasons, we cannot conduct public farm visits. As we do not use antibiotics or other medicines, the risk of foreign germs entering the system through farm visits would be too great.
Net pens contribute to the poor image of aquaculture. Closed-loop technology is the most elaborate type of aquaculture and is particularly resource-efficient; it reduces the need for fresh water to 2%. We have one of the best and most modern water treatment plants for fish farms in the world. We even use denitrification, which some Swiss sewage treatment plants do not have. This means that no germs or impurities can get into the Moesa. In this way, we offer a more ecologically sound and sustainable alternative to salmon production.
The fish food we use is produced in France and is free of ethoxiquin. It is composed of the following ingredients: Fish meal, wheat gluten, maize gluten, soya meal (non GMO), faba beans, wheat, starch, fish oil and rapeseed oil. The proportion of fish meal in fish feed has been continuously reduced over the last 10 years and still amounts to 20%. The proportion of fish oil in fish feed is 15%. We are working with a research institute and feed producers on a project where the fishmeal content is partially replaced with insect meal.
We source the salmon eggs from Iceland, these are guaranteed virus and disease free. Our salmon grow up in an indoor facility and are parasite-free. The fresh salmon fillets can therefore be consumed raw as sushi or sashimi without a shock-freezing treatment.Â
