Cooke Aquaculture applied for a $58.6 million salmon hatchery on Digby Neck, Nova Scotia, according to local news. The new land-based hatchery will grow salmon from egg to smolt and will supply 13 Cooke’s farms in Nova Scotia.
The company first proposed a salmon hatchery in the Digby area in 2012 as part of a $150 million expansion plan funded in part with $25 million from Nova Scotia's government.
