The University of Maine was mentioned in the Free Press article, “The past, present and future of Maine seafood.” Farmed fish, shellfish and seaweed will likely continue to be part of the state’s industry, according to the article. Currently, UMaine’s Center for Cooperative Aquaculture Research and Maine Sea Grant have been developing programs to farm seaweed like winged kelp and sugar kelp as well as the yellowtail amberjack, a fish from the Pacific coast with a taste similar to tuna, the article states.
