MAINE FARMED SEAFOOD PRODUCTS, BY THE NUMBERS
Maine's fisheries traditionally consisted
of wild caught species or those that could
be foraged in shallow waters. Increasingly,
aquaculture experts are "farming" products
that can be more readily harvested. Among
those products are mussels, oysters, scallops
and seaweed. The farming process still
happens in the ocean or baywaters, but is
managed in a contained system.
