Duncan Bates founded Akaroa Salmon with his father Tom three decades ago, with an experimental licence from the Akaroa County Council. It was an experiment that paid off. The initial pens full of hand-fed fish have now expanded to include a specialised processing plant and hatchery which produces over 200 tonnes of king salmon a year.
