It’s unclear just which companies might show up Tuesday to bid on struggling US aquaculture firm Local Ocean.
One man who will certainly be there is Bill Martin of Virginia-based land-based tilapia farmer Blue Ridge Aquaculture.
“We’ll be there to simply look at the property. We’re not there to bid. I don’t know what are interests are now until we see the facility," Martin told IntraFish.
Although fish are still in its tanks and the facility is operating with a skeleton crew, Local Ocean, a much ballyhooed land-based fish farm when it opened several years ago, is effectively bankrupt, say local officials in Greenport, New York, where the facility is located.
