Ricardo Fuentes e Hijos is a company dedicated to the manufacture of traditional curing and marketing of fresh and frozen fish, developing this activity since the 50s.

In the 80 starts in the exportation of bluefin tuna to the Japanese market from the Catches of Spanish and French purse seiners in the Mediterranean, building a great business opportunity.

The changing dynamics of the market and the high degree of specialization of our clients led us, in the mid-90s, to jointly study a new way of working with this product: the fattening and greasing of bluefin tuna in cages; with the aim of avoiding the seasonality of the activity and thereby guaranteeing a high quality product for most of the year.

Experimentally, since this type of operation had never been carried out with tuna of the size that we find in the Mediterranean (individuals with an average weight of 175 kg, working with some of up to 625 kg), we created two joint ventures: VIVERATUN CARTAGENA, SA, and TUNA GRASO, SA

We are privileged to have, among others, international clients such as MITSUI, MARUHA CORPORATION AND MITSUBISHI CORPORATION who have collaborated with us from the beginning to achieve this goal.

The success of this project, and our investment policy, led us to expand our activity in other Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Croatia, Tunisia,
