Raised in the nutrient-rich Antarctic waters of Region XII, Arka Brand salmon products are ABF certified, Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certified, and Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) 4 Star certified; making Arka ultra-premium salmon one of the world’s most responsible and conscious salmon brands available for retail and food service today. Arka is already in full production, with 19,000 tons able to be shipped; and the company plans to expand to new markets in 2022. With its full vertical integration, the company is well poised to supply and scale large retail and food service needs consistently season over season.
