An important source of protein

Aquaculture is an efficient means of supplying important protein sources to our growing population. At Amar Seafood, we want to contribute in developing successful food production with a sustainable focus, in order to help our future generations - both in terms of diet and environment.

Supplied with geothermal modified saltwater wells, Amar Seafood leads the development of an industry in strategic locations across Prince Edward Island and Grand Rivière, where these wells exist.
