More Ocean Fish Farms Coming to Your Island?
Yet another ocean fish farm is being proposed off of the coast of the Big Island, Hawaii. Also called open ocean aquaculture or offshore aquaculture, ocean fish farming is the mass production of fish in huge, often-overcrowded net pens or cages out in open ocean waters. Indigo Seafood is seeking a lease for 80 acres in the Kawaihae area to grow Moi. They have not presented the public with the number of cages or the amount of fish that they intend to produce each year. Indigo Seafood is just another ocean fish farming operation – along with Kona Blue Water Farms, Cates International, and Hawaii Oceanic Technology, Inc. — looking to test out a new industry in Hawaii’s waters.
