In Vivari, farming means preserving an equilibrium. It is through Acipenser, the Calvisano-based reality from which our expertise originates, that a method takes shape—built on continuous monitoring, respect for sturgeon welfare, and a concrete commitment to environmental sustainability. Among oxygen-rich spring waters, controlled densities, and a fully integrated supply chain, quality is never forced: it is guided, day after day, from the very beginning.
A living heritage followed with rigor throughout the entire growth cycle. A figure that reflects the scale of the farm, and the ability to maintain control, continuity, and constant attention to sturgeon welfare.
The facility spans over ten hectares in Calvisano, within an environment designed to support sturgeon growth through space, ecological balance, and continuous monitoring.
The water flow reaches two thousand liters per second in an open-cycle system. A figure that reflects water quality and its decisive role in farming and the final result.
More than eighty tanks of varying sizes form a structured system, designed to accommodate different species and support their growth in line with natural rhythms.
Over one kilometer of production infrastructure, conceived to ensure continuity across the supply chain and provide sturgeon with an environment aligned with their natural development.
The sturgeon is an ancient and vulnerable species, threatened by the loss of breeding habitats, river barriers, and water pollution. For this reason, Vivari recognizes responsible aquaculture as a concrete form of protection. Through Acipenser, and in compliance with CITES regulations, we support an eco-compatible production model aimed at safeguarding stocks and genetic diversity. This commitment is further strengthened by our connection with the W.S.C.S., an international association dedicated to the conservation and reintroduction of sturgeon in the wild.
From reproduction to the larval stage, from juveniles to fully mature females, each sturgeon is guided through its entire life cycle, observed and cared for at every stage. Within this continuous process, constant monitoring ensures traceability, quality of life, and respect for the biological timing of an ancient and delicate species. In this way, the origin is not merely controlled, but protected until the moment it can give rise to new life.
