Seafood has become a vital part of the American diet. Dr Arthur Hull Hayes, then United States Food and Drug Commissioner, noted in an article in Timemagazine, March 15 1982, "The tissues of the human body are constantly moistened by a briny solution thought to be of about the same salinity as the primordial sea from which life emerged. We are miniature oceans encased in skin." After 32 years of constant research, Aquaculture Inc. has achieved its primary goal, to provide a significant renewable nutritional bounty from the Sea.
