Land-based yellowtail farmer The Kingfish Company’s second recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) facility obtained its final government approvals last week, meaning the Maine, facility is on schedule to begin construction by end of 2021.

These are the last state-level permits needed to prepare the site for construction. Critical water-side permits were obtained earlier in 2021.

Kingfish Maine’s RAS facility is projected to produce up to 8,500 metric tons of yellowtail annually upon completion.
