A Cape Breton seafood plant is expanding its facilities with some help from the federal government.
Lobsters R Us Seafood of Little Harbour is boosting its live seafood storage capabilities with a $500,000 repayable contribution from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, the federal government said in a news release issued Friday.
In 2012, the company invested in an energy-efficient, three-room live seafood storage facility in L Ardoise that holds up to 650,000 pounds of live lobster and snow crab for up to 150 days. The aim is to keep daily catches fresher for longer and satisfy demand during the off-season, the news release said.
This new federal aid will allow the company to store up to one million pounds, the release said.
The live storage system has resulted in lower operating costs, higher prices for local catches and a better economic outlook for our communities, company president Blaire Martell said in the release.
The firm, which grades and stores seafood bought from fishermen in the region, employs 14 people full time and about 65 more during the high season.
It is looking at emerging markets in China and Europe for future sales.相关的主题文章：
