Cooke Aquaculture is Growing

As the stock markets take a hit, there is some good news in the business world. Cooke Aquaculture has purchased the processing facility of Ocean Choice International in Newfoundland. Ocean Choice says the decision to sell the facility was made because of the declining raw material base to support the operation.
