“Aquabyte is proud to join SATS to help promote the development of American aquaculture. The U.S., which leads the way in science and technology, has the potential to lead aquaculture policy and practices around the world. Through utilising the latest technology and innovations, the aquaculture industry can continue to grow in a way that is environmentally sustainable, protecting our oceans and natural resources, while creating more jobs and economic opportunity here in the U.S. We need the proper federal policies and regulations in place to allow that to happen.”
