Lucas Maglio

Lucas Maglio is a pioneering Argentine aquaculture engineer and the leading producer of rainbow trout in Argentina. He has been instrumental in the aquaculture industry since 2019, when he began farming trout in the Piedra del Águila reservoir in Neuquén in collaboration with Chilean and Peruvian partners. In a recent public letter, he defended salmon farming practices in response to criticisms from French chef Christophe Krywonis, arguing that salmon is a healthy protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Maglio emphasizes that his trout production is antibiotic-free and advocates for sustainable aquaculture practices, highlighting Argentina's potential to meet the growing global demand for seafood.
