The global demand for tilapia has skyrocketed in recent years, making it one of the most widely farmed fish in the world.

Known for its mild flavor, high protein content, and versatility, farmed tilapia has become a staple in both local and international markets.

As the leading producer, China plays a significant role in tilapia farming, supplying high-quality tilapia to consumers worldwide.

At the heart of this industry are tilapia factories, where seafood processing and quality control ensure the fish reaches the market in optimal condition.

What is a Tilapia Factory?

A tilapia factory is a specialized facility that plays a crucial role in production, bridging the gap between farmed tilapia and the final consumer.

After tilapia are raised and harvested from ponds or aquaculture systems, they are sent to the factory for seafood processing.

This involves several steps, including sorting, cleaning, filleting, and often freezing the fish to ensure freshness and quality.

In countries like China, where tilapia farming is highly developed, tilapia factories adhere to strict management practices to ensure that both domestic and international markets receive safe, high-quality products.

These factories focus on maintaining the fish’s high protein content, flaky texture, and overall quality while meeting the growing global demand for farmed fish.

Tilapia Processing Technology

Raw Material Inspection

We only use live fish, and oxygen is pumped into the containers during transport to ensure the fish arrive at the factory alive.

Size Sorting

The sorting machine automatically places the fish into baskets based on size, and inspectors remove any fish that do not meet quality standards.

Quick Freezing

The sorted fish are sent to the quick-freezing equipment, where the core temperature is rapidly below -18°C.

Ice Glazing

We use an ice-glazing machine to coat the fish based on customer requirements.

Packaging and Packing

We use plastic bags for packaging, followed by an outer carton, sealed and placed in cold storage.

Pre-loading Inspection

The company’s QC team randomly checks the number of tilapia, freshness, weight, and any packaging damage before loading.

Our processing staff always wear disinfected masks, outer clothes, and gloves and perform processing by strict hygiene standards.
