Our Mission at Fingerlakes Aquaculture is to become the dominant vertically-integrated supplier of the safest, freshest, highest quality seafood available.

Fingerlakes Aquaculture will accomplish its mission and meet the increasing consumer demand for reliable, cost effective and fresh seafood by establishing a nationwide network of large scale fish farms, seafood processing plants and direct marketing/distribution systems.


Advantages of RAS Technology
It is our belief at Fingerlakes Aquaculture that that key to future world seafood supply lies in indoor recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technology.

The advantages of RAS technology over other types of aquaculture production include:
• Effective economies of scale (highest production per unit area of any aquaculture system).
• Environmentally sound principles (90 - 99% less water use than conventional aquaculture systems through full capture, treatment and recycling of fish effluent water).
• Infinite scalability and geographical placement (no environmental limitations
• Unparalleled food safety (100% guaranteed free of heavy metals, pesticides, antibiotics, and growth hormones).
• Multi-species applicability (fresh and salt-water seafood species).


Current Status
Fingerlakes Aquaculture's founder, Dr. Michael Timmons of Cornell University, is a world-renowned aquacultural scientist with over 15 years experience in developing RAS technology. Through his guidance Fingerlakes Aquaculture is now successfully operating the largest indoor aquaculture facility in New York State, and one of the largest in North America.
