Cuna del Mar: Warmwater species key to feeding growing population

Offshore aquaculture investment fund Cuna del Mar said it will continue spending heavily on offshore aquaculture and species development projects, as the world looks for solutions to feed a rapidly growing population.

Backed by members of the Walton family, owners of the Walmart supermarket empire, the fund has so far invested well over $100 million (€89.6 million) in projects.

“And we have a lot more to spend yet,” Cuna del Mar Managing Director Robert Orr told attendees at IntraFish’s Investor Forum in New York in late May.
