VeroBlue Farms USA (VBF) has agreed to buy 2,000 aquaculture tank systems from Opposing Flows Aquaculture (OFA) for more than $100 million, the companies said Wednesday.

The land based recirculating systems, which use air blowers to create an opposing flow of water, will be delivered over three years to the barramundi producer’s operation in Iowa, operating under the Iowa’s First brand.

VBF, which will be the exclusive global distributor of the OFA tanks, will produce around 40m pounds of fish per year once the new tanks are fully installed.

The order will help VBF expand its Iowa’s First output at a new urban farm with 7.2m pounds of grow-out production.

The company is also boosting it fingerling operation to 300 tanks and additional processing and packaging capabilities.
