PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - A Maine company and its Virginia partner are investing $30 million in a project to raise the saltwater game fish cobia, which is growing in popularity in restaurants and supermarkets.
MariCal Inc. of Portland and Blue Ridge Aquaculture Inc. have teamed up to launch Virginia Cobia Farms LLC. They hope the indoor fish-farming technology will help make cobia the new "chicken of the sea."
"Cobia is the next salmon in commercial aquaculture," said William Thomas, MariCal's senior vice president for marketing and sales.
