L’Isola d’Oro Anchovies from the Adriatic Sea Gain Sustainable Certification
(ITALY, 11/16/2012)
“L'Isola d'Oro” anchovies (Engraulis encrasicolus) gain Friend of the Sea certification. L'Isola d'Oro is a company that produces and markets fish canned products.
The anchovies are caught in the FAO 37 Northern Adriatic sea by Croatian artisanal fishing vessels using purse seines which cause no impact to the seabed.
The vessels use ‘lampara’ - a lamp that attracts the anchovies to the surface. Sonar controls help spot anchovies which swim in single species shoals, thus no other species is by caught in the process.

Anchovies fishing method is highly selective, energy efficient and it has negligible impact on the environment."
"Furthermore we engage at sourcing from stocks within Maximum Sustainable Yield and in compliance with minimum size and quotas," adds Zarotti.
