Table 11. SWOT analysis of Large Volumes methodology for rearing finfish larvae.

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
High morphological quality of juveniles Space availability Development of local hatchery for niche productions Competition with intensive hatcheries production
No use of drugs Skilled operators Organic hatchery Lack of rules for juveniles in the established protocols for organic aquaculture
Biofiltering system elimination Intensive labour for cleaning Production of “wild like” juveniles better performing for sea-ranching action Maintenance of wild behaviour in juveniles of top predator species
Expected increasing values for high quality juveniles Low demand for quality Higher quality of commercial size fish Low willingness to pay quality
