Mowi Scotland purchased Welsh lumpfish producer Ocean Matters on April 15. The recirculated aquaculture system (RAS) facility is located in Anglesey, North Wales.

The aquaculture facility will be an important addition to Mowi’s cleaner fish program, said the company.

The Ocean Matters hatchery currently produces lumpfish, one of two fish species that have proven to be effective cleaner fish in the battle to control sea lice. The company also cultures Ballan wrasse at other facilities.
