Description

Cooke Aquaculture was established in 1985 as Kelly Cove Salmon by Gifford, Michael and Glenn Cooke . The company?s origins were humble, beginning with a single marine cage site containing 5,000 salmon. Four years later the family decided it needed a consistent and independent supply of eggs and smolt so it purchased Oak Bay Hatchery. Recognizing that integration would become essential to competing world wide and desiring to control their own destiny, the Cookes embarked on an aggressive plan for growth that continues to this day with acquisitions and a strategic search for development opportunities. Over the years the company expanded its facilities, product lines and distribution networks to become the fully integrated corporation it is today with operations in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Maine as well as sales offices in major centers in the United States and Canada. Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cooke Aquaculture processes and sells more than 80 million pounds of Atlantic salmon each year.
