In the last years, Dibaq has developed the Feeding Programs concept, in other words, the use of foods and the most appropriate rules of management depending on the situation during the whole production cycle.

The final aim is to cut down the production cost. That is why each it is elaborated in a personalized way depending on the facility’s needs and special features.

Dibaq's products range for lubine and other species in cultivation food gets bigger and it is constantly renewed depending on the results we have got in our R+D programs. These programs are sponsored by both our company and the market’s demand. Thus, the aim of reaching outputs in the fodder, like those that are reached on salmon’s feeding, is closer and closer.

This species sensitivity to stress caused by management can be decreased by using our marine feeding Estimovit that combines a mineral-vitamin complex with immunostimulators. A few days after, a successful result can be obtained.

Distribution: There are loubines all along the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea and northwest Atlantic Ocean (from Norway to Senegal).

Feeding: It is a very voracious carnivore. It eats fishes, molluscs and crustaceans.

Fishing: It is fished with longline hooks, trammel nets, rod and trolling.

Breeding: In tanks, cages and ponds.

Reproduction: In the Mediterranean Sea, the first sexual maturity normally happens when de loubine is between 2 and 4 years old. However, in the Atlantic Ocean it happens later. They only spawn once a year, usually in winter, even if in north areas they may do it in spring. Embryo development lasts around 3 days at 55.4-57.2ºF and larvae development lasts about 40 days at 66.2ºF.
