Cooke Aquaculture had a highly acquisitive year, resulting in a growth in annual sales and a jump in the rankings. Last year, it added Wanchese Fish Company to its fold, and previously acquired True North Salmon as well as operations in Chile, Spain and Scotland. Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cooke Aquaculture processes and sells 115,000 metric tons (whole fish equivalent) of Atlantic salmon and 20,000 metric tons (whole fish equivalent) of sea bass and sea bream each year and annual sales are valued at nearly USD 1 billion (EUR 895 million).
