Advertiser Staff
Kona Blue Water Farms says it is now producing up to 10,000 pounds of its sashimi-grade Kona Kampachi fish at its undersea farm offshore of the Big Island.The company, noting a recent study that detailed the plight of fisheries, said its fish farming method in water more than 200 feet deep has no discernible impact on water quality and produces fish with no detectable mercury levels.
The fish raised at Kona Blue Water Farms, known as amberjack, or kahala in the wild, are marketed by the company under the trademarked name Kona Kamapchi.
"We believe that open-ocean fish farming offers a sustainable, environmentally friendly answer to this crisis that confronts the world's oceans," said Kona Blue Co-founder and President Neil Anthony Sims in a press release.
