ABOUT US
MISSION
Our planet faces global demographic challenges, continuous climate stress and accelerated warming.
OAC GLOBAL’s mission is to produce high quality sustainable fish (protein) to provide a better-balanced diet to the world population while protecting our natural resources and climate. It’s OAC’s mission to grow fish far offshore, in deep water natural habitats, to guarantee animal welfare and preserve the habitat.
ABOUT US
VISION
Aquaculture is recognized by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to play a pivotal role in addressing the pressing need for sustainable and secure food production. Through its comprehensive and forward-thinking approach, OAC GLOBAL aims to create a prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable blue economy for the benefit of present and future generations.
OAC GLOBAL, headquartered in Madrid, is committed to produce seafood in a highly sustainable manner through the establishment of multiple large offshore farms in southern Spain. The group consists of experienced professionals specializing in offshore technology and the aquaculture of marine species at European and global levels. The group comprises the following companies:
OAC MURCIA is dedicated to the OFFSHORE FARM project located in the Murcia region. With an annual production capacity of 6,000 metric tons, this project focuses on cultivating amberjack and meagre using offshore farming methods.
OAC ANDALUCÍA is dedicated to the OFFSHORE FARM project located in the Andalucia region. With an annual production capacity of 12,000 metric tons, this project focuses on cultivating amberjack and meagre using offshore farming methods.
OAC HATCHERY OAC HATCHERY specializes in the production of amberjack and meagre fingerlings. Their expertise lies in the successful cultivation of these species from their early stages that will then grow further in OAC’s offshore facilities. OAC’s Hatchery project is planned in the Port of Carboneras.

OUR VALUES
Why Ocean Aquaculture?
Aquaculture, especially in the Meditaranean, faces limitations due to competition with tourism, traditional fishing activities and protected areas. To overcome these challenges and achieve larger and more efficient scale, there is a growing trend towards moving aquaculture further into deeper waters with the utilization of offshore technologies.
Offshore aquaculture is considered as a advanced technological solution that allows the culture of species at great distances from the coast eliminating interfering with other coastal activities. In this way, the production of healthy food for the population is ensured, with a higher degree of sustainability than traditional aquaculture in all its social, environmental and economic aspects.
Offshore aquaculture also presents a high degree of resilience against climate change, guaranteeing food production in natural habitat conditions and is fully integrated into European BLUE GROWTH policies
.
INNOVATION
- TECHNOLOGY IN OFFSHORE ENGINEERING
The implementation of offshore technologies for fish farming, which allows their cultivation in deep water areas far from the coast (more than 10 km), under adverse ocean conditions (waves greater than 7 meters) and in a fully automated manner (low carbon footprint).The design of these farms is being carried out by Moreld Aqua a Norwegian company with extensive experience in the development of offshore farms worldwide.OAC GLOBAL, intends to utilize semi-submersible farms where each cage has a capacity of approximately 300,000 cubic meters. These advanced cage systems are designed to submerge under water, providing optimal conditions for fish farming in offshore environments. - TECHNOLOGY IN SPECIES PRODUCTION
Emerging fish species , with high culinary value and a large international market, such as Amberjack(Seriola dumerili) and Meagre ( Argyrosomus regius).
SUSTAINABILITY
OAC GLOBAL is committed to the community, the environment and the welfare of farmed fish.
The implementation of marine farms at a long distance from the coast considerably reduces their environmental impact and nullifies their visual impact.
Our farms will be located in water depths exceeding 150 meters with high water renewal. They will have a high degree of automation and remote control and that, together with low densities, favors the welfare of the fish. OAC ensures a optimum carbon footprint of the fish produced.
In addition, there is the company is committed to obtaining the most rigorous environmental certifications at an international level (ASC/Aquaculture Stewardship Counsil).
OAC will grow it’s own fingerlings (small fish) onshore, for its amberjack and meagre fingerlings, at their hatchery located in Carboneras/Almería by using a closed circuit technology (RAS).
The Blue Growth policy of the European Union (EU) embodies a strategic framework aimed at promoting sustainable economic development in coastal and marine sectors. Offshore aquaculture represents one of the most promising opportunities to achieve these development objectives.
ECONOMIC SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
The offshore aquaculture industry, led by OAC Global, can play a pivotal role in driving social and economic sustainable development in the coastal regions of the Spanish Mediterranean. As a strategic sector, offshore aquaculture offers significant opportunities for job creation, entrepreneurship, and skill development in these areas. The integration of this industry within coastal communities leads to enhanced economic diversification, increased local investments, and improved livelihoods for residents.
LOCAL INVESTMENT
The construction of the offshore farms and land facilities (hatchery) will represent an investment exceeding 300 million euros exclusively in Spanish territory.
SOCIAL INTEGRATION
The project provides support to the coastal region where it is located (Andalusia & Murcia), generating jobs (200+ jobs) in accordance with the fishing culture of these towns. During the various construction years, this could be more then 800 jobs.
MARKET.
The fish produced will be marketed in deep frozen mode, with the maximum guarantee of quality, traceability and productive information for the consumer through its QR code.
This involves the recording of key information such as the species origin, production methods and processing details. By employing advanced technologies such as electronic tagging, keeping digital records and traceability systems OAC guarantees swift identification and recall of products if any safety issues arise. These comprehensive food safety and traceability measures are vital to guarantee consumer confidence, uphold industry integrity and ensure that farmed fish products meet the highest standards of safety and quality.
OAC marketing for the European market complies with the standards of the EU policy: From farms to fork
R+D+i.
The presence of OA GLOBAL fosters collaboration and partnerships among various stakeholders, including government entities, research institutions, and local businesses promoting and assuring a sustainable and vibrant coastal economy in the Spanish Mediterranean region.
