 Launched in October 2017, in and about La Paz, B.C.S. México, the Kampachi Company’s Mexican operations built from scratch the infrastructure required to raise

Seriola rivoliana from broodstock to commercial harvest size. As of the end of April, 2021 ,  it had produced close to 1,200 metric tons of King Kampachi® and Kampachito® , and sold this production mainly in Mexico and the United States. This presentation will give an overview of the project ’s direct and indirect

impact ,  in economic, social and academic dimensions.
