Abstract

"News" piece on a halibut farming project in Franklin being funded by the University of Maine Center for Cooperative Aquaculture Research and an unnamed industry partner, which aims to hone the science of raising halibut in farms to a point where it is economically viable for private industry. The project currently hosts 44 potential brood fish and 5,000 halibut recently purchased from a hatchery in Canada. Officials plan to break ground this summer on a $2 million hatchery capable of raising halibut, cod and haddock.
