Cleaner salmon
A Virginia company has acquired majority ownership of a Southern West Virginia fish farm, and it has announced it is switching the fish from arctic char to salmon and trout.
The West Virginia spring water at the farm runs from an old coal mine. It will allow them to farm pollutant-free salmon with minimal impact to the environment, according to Blue Ridge Aquaculture.
The Martinsville, Va., corporation - home of the largest indoor tilapia farm in the United States - listed the West Virginia farm as one of its operations on its Web site late last week. A company statement said it “will continue operations at its current facilities to take advantage of its unique location and experienced work force.”
