KING KAMPACHI: AN OVERVIEW OF THE LARGESTSeriola rivoliana OPERATION IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE

In and about La Paz, B.C.S. México, now operates the largest Seriola rivoliana farm in the Western hemisphere: King Kampachi (projected 2020 harvest: => 1,200 metric tons). We broke ground for our  pilot  hatchery in mid-January 2018, began our first run in late April, and made our first sale--to one of the top 20 restaurants in the world--in mid-October, 2018. By April, 2019 our product could be found in restaurants across the United States and Mexico, and in early June  of the same year we became the first producer in the world to receive ASC certification in our species.

This presentation will give an overview of the project, from broodstock to market, including the major financial and operational milestones achieved, as well as some of the myriad innovations our team has developed in almost every aspect of our operations.
