Cobia

Deep ocean aquaculture, Panama

Open Blue, our source, raises cobia in deepwater net pens anchored to the seabed far off the coast of Panama. The system is designed to minimize the impact on the surrounding marine environment, and the net pens prevent the fish from escaping and competing with wild fish populations. The system also uses a closed-loop water system, which means that the water is recycled and reused.The fish are fed an all-natural hormone-, colorant-, and pesticide-free diet.

Open Blue Cobia is certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), which is the world's leading certification program for sustainable aquaculture. It has also earned GlobalGAP aquaculture certification and Best Aquaculture Practices. And Seafood Watch gives cobia a “Good Alternative” rating. We support Open Blue's efforts! Low mercury level.
