The aquaculture industry in Maine is comprised of finfish, shellfish and sea vegetable farms. The finfish farms produce Atlantic salmon and steelhead trout, and for the most part are vertically-integrated corporations. The shellfish farms produce Eastern oysters, clams (hard and soft-shell), bay scallops, surf clams, and mussels. Most shellfish farms are family-owned and operated companies. Maine has one aquaculture company that grows seaweed.
