Kingfish Maine, a division of a Dutch firm that is looking to construct a yellowtail farm on a shorefront property in Jonesport, has received state approval to install water discharge pipes that would extend half a mile into Chandler Bay. The permit is a sign of progress for one of three large, land-based aquaculture operations planned for development on the Maine coast. In addition to Kingfish, Nordic Aquafarms has plans to build a $500 million salmon farm in Belfast, while Whole Oceans is looking to develop a $180 million salmon farm at the former Verso Paper mill site in Bucksport.
