Open Blue Cobia

Free-Range

By using innovative, deep ocean aquaculture, or "free-range fish farming" technology, Open Blue Sea Farms has been able to move fish farming far out into the open sea. Our approach is the fish farming equivalent to free-range beef, poultry and eggs.  We locate our farms in the open ocean, far from shore and sensitive ecosystems, and purposely avoid areas commonly used for artisanal fishing, recreation, conservation and navigation.

The open ocean is a high energy environment where the water is pure and pristine, and our fish never see the same water twice. This approach lessens environmental impact, lowers diseases risk, and provides a more humane and natural growing environment for the fish all while avoiding stakeholder impact. This translates into guilt free, high quality, safe, healthy and sustainably cultivated seafood.

We only farm fish native to the environment and without hormones or the prophylactic use of antibiotics and other contaminants, such steroids and anti-parasitic agents. Our seafood is mercury and PCB free, and it's richer in omega-3s than just about any other seafood coming from our oceans. We don’t crowd our fish at high densities in small cages, tanks or ponds. We give our fish plenty of room in very large, stress-free, deep water, open ocean net pens and submersible spheres.
