The 94-acre oceanfront parcel means Kingfish Maine is on schedule

Jonesport fish farm buys land, receives DEP approval

  (UNITED STATES, 12/8/2021)

JONESPORT, Maine (AP) — A Dutch-owned firm looking to build a $110 million land-based fish farm in Jonesport has acquired property and received final permits from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.

The approval of the final DEP permits and the purchase of a 94-acre oceanfront parcel means Kingfish Maine is on schedule for design and engineering, the Bangor Daily News reported.

“Kingfish Maine is one step closer to achieving fully operational status, and we are ready to build on our proven blueprint, and scale our technology locally to service our network of distributors nationwide,” said Ohad Maiman, founder and CEO of The Kingfish Company.

Kingfish reached a deal with Whole Foods to sell its products at all of the grocery firm’s locations nationwide.

 

The planned Jonesport fish farm is one of four large-scale fish farms proposed along Maine’s eastern coast. It is the only one that would produce yellowtail. The others plan to produce salmon.
