Company Description:
We are one of the largest integrated seafood companies in the U.S. in terms of revenues. We harvest and process a variety of fish species aboard our sophisticated catcher-processor vessels, our freezer-longliner vessels and at our land-based processing facilities, and market our products to a diverse group of customers in North America, Asia and Europe. In the U.S., we are the largest harvester and at-sea processor of pollock and hake and the largest processor of catfish. Pollock is the world�s highest-volume whitefish harvested for human consumption and accounts for a majority of our revenues. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, catfish accounted for approximately 50% of the value of all aquaculture in the U.S. in 2002. In addition, we harvest and/or process additional seafood, including cod, scallops and yellowfin sole. We maintain an international marketing network through our U.S., Japan and European offices and have developed long-term relationships with our U.S. and international customer base.
