2025 Seafood M&A Trends: Part 2
In the second part of our series exploring seafood mergers and acquisitions (M&A), we are taking a closer look at Canadian shellfish, Ecuadorian shrimp, Japanese companies investing abroad, and the world of smoked salmon.
Recently, there has been significant movement in the seafood industry. Four Ecuadorian shrimp farmers are gearing up to process all of their raw material through a new plant in hopes of achieving a remarkable $350 million in turnover for the year 2025.
Lakeview, a company backed by CapVest, initially paused their plans for acquiring a smoked salmon business in the US after making a deal involving a yogurt brand. Meanwhile, a lobster processor in New Brunswick is among the many companies currently seeking buyers in the market.

It’s clear that the landscape of seafood M&A is dynamic and evolving. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest trends and developments in the industry to keep yourself informed and up-to-date on the ever-changing world of seafood mergers and acquisitions.
