Established in 1976, and under the leadership of CEO Bjørn Myrseth, Marine Farms ASA is a modern and diverse group of aquaculture companies. The company is headquartered in Bergen, Norway and manages businesses in United Kingdom, Spain, Vietnam and Belize.
Marine Farms Belize brings decades of fish farming experience from its Norwegian parent together with the expertise of key staff originally from Aquaculture Center of the Florida Keys. ACFK was instrumental in developing commercially viable hatchery techniques for the larval rearing of cobia.
Since operations commenced in 2006, MFB has developed a cage farm off Robinson Point, 8 nautical miles south east of Belize City. The cage farm comprises an ongrowing area, with 24 hour security, and a nursery site near-by. The company’s office and marina are situated on the Western Highway, a location which will also house an ice plant and processing unit in future.
