Vertical integration: Good for profits,
bad for Menhaden and Chesapeake Bay.
Cooke Aquaculture - coming after
a forage fish near you with
ships bigger and better than ever.
Dust to Dust
150 tons of fish, much reduced to pellets...
...with much fed to salmon in net pens...
.
..with just the right amount of coloring added...
...to make them look like real fish.
One of two new ships built,
bigger and faster...
...to harvest Menhaden to support farmed salmon.
Menhaden - The filter feeders
of Chesapeake Bay filtering...
...or running from Cooke Aquaculture?
Where Omega Protein's
sets for Menhaden are taking place (2011).
Is it any wonder Chesapeake Bay
has an overabundance of plankton
when its most prolific filter feeders
are being stripped from it?
Problems for a little fish and Chesapeake Bay
are now a lot bigger - just to feed farmed salmon.
