On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Steindorsson appeared on Fox Business News. Mr. Payne noted that Umami is “changing the way that bluefin tuna is fished and farmed,” and detailed how the company catches fish and grows them in holding pens for up to 42 months. Mr. Steindorsson noted that Umami is enjoying a significant increase in revenue in the 18 months since the company went public, and has enjoyed a 125% jump in revenue within the past year. Mr. Steindorsson also stated his belief that open-ocean farming is “the way to go in the future” to meet rising demand for bluefin tuna. The Fox interview can be viewed online at this link.
