“$150m deepwater aquaculture farm backed by Chinese government”, Dec. 11, 2017, Louis Harkell.

"You'll have to change the entire supply chain of everything, of your logistics, your smolt production, your feed supply. "Automatically it becomes a higher stakes game. So once people decide to move further offshore and see that, okay, this becomes a bit more of a serious enterprise, then different players will come to the fore.”
