  • Apparently Oualidia has a perfect temperature and condition for these farms. The shallow lagoons of oualidia is ideal for this kind of farming. This industry was launched in this area in the mid fifties. Each post you see in these picture marks a spot where a very big cage was immersed into the sea. These cage are full of these Oysters. The current yearly production approach to 300 tonnes annually.

    You can come during the harvest months and see how they get these Oyster out. The owner of the Hotel is also an owner of some of the cages. This is a serious business with 24 hr security. very interesting.
