Kingfish Zeeland, a four-year-old aquaculture company that raises Dutch Yellowtail fish in The Netherlands, is looking at two sites in Maine for its planned expansion into the United States.
The trade publication SeafoodSource, in a May 8 article written by its executive editor Cliff White, reported that Kingfish Zeeland had considered 22 sites along the U.S. East Coast as possible locations for constructing a land-based recirculating aquaculture system that would be larger than its Dutch facility producing 600 metric tons of yellowtail a year for mostly European markets. Kingfish Zeeland CEO Ohad Maiman told SeafoodSource that the company had narrowed its list to two possible sites in Maine, which he declined to identify further.
“We are hopefully 60 to 90 days away from making our final site selection,” Maiman said
