The Argentine Sea is part of the 14th Large Marine Ecosystems (LME) in the South Western Atlantic region and covers a total of 6,581,500 square kilometers of the marine platform, including coastal areas, continental shelves, slopes, and ocean basins. The sea is home to two major marine currents, the Malvinas current, which is cold and nutrient-rich, and the Brazil current, which is warm and moves southwards along the edge of the slope. Between the latitudes of 30° to 46° S, different oceanographic processes result in high biological production and abundant fisheries. Argentina has the 23rd largest fishery in the world in terms of volume, with only 4.5% of its total production related to aquaculture, making it a significant source of natural fishing products. The country's primary fishing activities are based on coldwater demersal species, providing an ideal environment for hake fishing. Surprisingly, only 10% of Argentine seafood is consumed in the domestic market.
Tridge has developed resilient partnerships with the most trustworthy Argentine suppliers from the Mar Del Plata region, allowing buyers to access better opportunities for HGT (head gut tail) products and hake fillets (skin on or off) in our trading ecosystem.
