Judge dismisses lawsuit alleging Cooke violated foreign ownership rules

Case centers around Cooke subsidiary Omega Protein, a supplier of menhaden.

The lawsuit, brought last year by two activists that have lobbied for increased protection of menhaden stocks, claimed Cooke's 2017 acquisition of fisheries and fishmeal producer Omega Protein was structured to allow the Canadian group to continue the harvesting vessels.
