A Maine-based company calling itself Whole Oceans announced on Thursday its plans to purchase most of the former Verso paper mill site in Bucksport and build a land-based aquafarm to raise Atlantic salmon.
Whole Oceans CEO Robert Piasio, a specialist in land-based aquaculture technologies, species, markets, distribution and personnel who grew up in Yarmouth, said the company has spent six years researching and preparing plans to create a state-of-the-art recirculating aquaculture system to growing worldwide demand for farm-raised Atlantic salmon.
