Cooke Aquaculture is looking at a possible expansion in Liverpool Bay.
The fish farming giant currently has a site in the water near Coffin’s Island.
Approximately 400,000 fish are being grown there.
Andrew Lively, VP of global marketing with Cooke, made the announcement during a presentation at this morning’s Region of Queens council meeting.
The company is considering an expansion of the current site as well as an additional site in the bay.
Cooke has made their intentions known to the province and has six months to apply for a specific site.
A public consultation is set for Queens Place Emera Centre October 30 beginning at 4:00pm.
