Seafood companies continue to attract new entrants that are helping them gain competitiveness among investors, said Jana Dombrowski, senior vice president and food and agriculture advisor at Wells Fargo, a leading agricultural lender in the United States, with $1.92 trillion (€1.58 trillion) in assets.

"We’ve seen well established companies continue to morph while new companies and concepts come to fruition," Dombrowski said following her participation as an panelist during the IntraFish Seafood Investor Forum earlier this month.
