The fish processing facility, housing the four units, was initiated in 2014 and completed in September 2020. They claimed that doing some exporting, though on a small scale, will get some of the much deserved foreign exchange to enter the Seychelles economy, especially in this time of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. Though the processing units is aimed at entertaining the local market only in terms of fish grating and fish fillets, both Mr Payet and Mr Loizeau, owners of various fishing vessels, said they would also like to venture into secondary value added products such as fish balls, smoked fish, fish burgers, among others, for the local including exporting those products regionally or even to the European Union (EU) markets if given the go ahead by SFA. It is to be noted that a third tenant, Daniel Hoareau from D&W SEAFOOD PROCESSING, was not present to sign his documents. The signing of the legal tendered agreement between Naron Payet from the Bel Ombre Fresh Seafood, Danny Loizeau from the Bel Ombre Fish Centre and the chief executive of SFA, Nichol Elizabeth, took place yesterday morning at the SFA headquarters in Victoria. The aquaculture unit will help to fast track the availability of the cultivation of sea urchin and sea cucumbers for small scale private owners. Among the four open space fish processing units, covering 200 square metres of processing floor each, SFA has reserved one unit for its aquaculture project.

Greater Amberjacks mature at around 4 years old, and migrate in late spring to early summer (March to June) to reproduce. Younger juvenile jacks tend to feed on plankton and small invertebrates. Their prey also includes squid and crustaceans, as well as sardines and bigeye scad.

Juveniles can be caught in about 25 feet (7.6 m) of water, near floating objects. They are found deeper than other jacks, commonly 50 to 130 m (30 to 70 fathoms).Īmberjacks are voracious predators, which feed on squid, fish, and crustaceans, and are thought to spawn offshore throughout most of the year.
