The company is planning to deploy the first net pens this year at the new site in the Bay of La Paz, five miles off the coast of the Baja California peninsula. The pens will be stocked with fingerlings before the end of December.
A land-based hatchery is planned, the company said.
Expansion to a site within easy trucking distance of the U.S. mainland is a key element in the company’s plans to increase production volumes, reduce delivery costs for the fresh sashimi-grade product, and reduce the overall carbon footprint of the company by minimizing the airfreight requirements.
