May 25, 2023 — Blue Water Fisheries, based in the U.S. state of New Hampshire, is proposing a new offshore aquaculture operation in the waters off the coast of New England.
The company has proposed installing 40 submersible fish pens in two mooring grids that would occupy 250 acres of open water roughly seven miles off the coast of Newburyport, Massachusetts, U.S.A. The company hopes to grow salmon and steelhead trout at the farm, along with lumpfish for a research study, using technology from Innovasea.
