The Future of Fish is Here

When capacity constraints force an established industry to go through a Paradigm Shift, the Sea Change can be significant- challenging traditional production methods, while providing unparalleled opportunity for innovative newcomers.

With an optimally located site on the shores of the Oosterschelde marine nature reserve in the Netherlands servicing the EU market daily, full cycle hatchery, an on site R&D facility, and an advanced grow-out system; and a 2nd site in development in Jonesport Maine for the US market, The Kingfish Company is a first mover operating at the cutting edge of sustainable, land based, high value marine aquaculture in the EU and the US.

Four Pillars of RAS

RAS is a remarkable technology, when it is well designed and operated, and deployed for the right species at the right market. Here are our four pillars:

Robust and reliable system

design

Higher than standard exchange rate. Clean seawater source. Proven proprietary design, executed by industry leading engineering firms

Deployed in premium markets

Europe and the US are currently dependent on Japan and Australia to supply the market with Yellowtail. As such, we can supply select markets with the highest grade of more locally grown, sustainable Dutch Yellowtail, available year round.

High-value species

Yellowtail is known for its delicate taste and is served in the world’s leading restaurants. The species grows to 2,5kg within 12 months and is an ideal fish for RAS technology.

No local wild caught or net-pen competition

Our fully closed facility guarantees that we are not harming local wildlife. In our hatchery we grow our own eggs from the parent fish, supplying us with enough eggs throughout the year.

Why we start with Kingfish Yellowtail

Yellowtail Kingfish is well-suited for RAS

Proven robustness under intensive conditions. No disease or parasitic problems over the last 10 years
High growth rates. Fast and efficient grow-out cycle and productivity in RAS
Resilient to handling / grading. Naturally a schooling fish.
Year-round juvenile supply from own hatchery, cycle closed.

Milestones reached

We started building our first plant in Zeeland at the shores of the Oosterschelde in 2016. Since then we have reached these and more of our milestones.

Achieved full standing biomass and stable production volumes

We produced approximately 500 tonnes of Yellowtail Kingfish in 2019.

One of the few commercial hatcheries for Yellowtail Kingfish globally

Successful larval rearing processes, yielding to date more than 200k fingerlings in multiple production cycles

Vertically integrated from breeding and genetics to sales

Kingfish Zeeland has established one of very few Yellowtail hatcheries of commercial scale globally.
