Session Description: FMI presents data to show how seafood at Supermarkets has performed over the last year.

This session is a conversation with three distinct and top-tier retailers (Hy-Vee, Meijer, and Publix) Guy Pizzuti, Dave Wier, and Jason Pride. They describe the seafood department in their operations and how they have met consumer demand during the pandemic. They also address supply chain challenges and their view on the upcoming year. This session is a frank discussion about how supermarket seafood departments perform and how consumers are changing the way they purchase seafood.

While still small in size compared to major global players, the U.S. aquaculture sector is experiencing growth at all levels, from mom-and-pop sized aquafarms to massive projects such as Atlantic Sapphire’s development in Florida and Nordic Aquafarms efforts in Maine. While still a young industry domestically, the field of viable players is growing and the impact to the marketplace is certain. This panel will concentrate on the rapidly expanding number of recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) projects completed or under development in the United States, with a special focus on hearing from the producers themselves. Joe Cardenas, founder and CEO of Aquaco Farms, Nordic Aquafarms President and Co-Founder Erik Heim, Kingfish Zeeland CEO and Co-Founder Ohad Maiman, and American Fresh Fillets President J. Michael Mogollon will discuss the challenges and advantages of RAS in the U.S., from permitting to construction, and from farming to marketing and sales.
