CATCHING
THE YOUNG FISH.
This
occurs in certain periods of the year when the young fish enter
the lagoon and the river mouths spontaneously.The amount of
young caught is not always sufficient in which case
artificial reproduction is used.

WEIGHT
INCREASE - This
depends on the alimentary resources found in the environment and is
usually linked to the renewal of the water in the basins which
occurs three times a year: in early spring, during the growing
period and during harvest time.
HARVESTING
- This takes place between October and December and is based on
the fish's tendency to return to the sea, where it is driven by
reproductive stimulus and by the reduction of the temperature of the
water in the basins. This is done letting warmer sea water into
the basins which acts as a call for the fish, which are then
channelled, at first into the "lavoriere" and then into the
"otela"
where they are caught and selected.
