Marine Harvest CEO Has Big Plans Beyond NYSE Listing

Marine Harvest is listing on the NYSE so it can tap U.S. capital markets in order to grow its global aquaculture business, says the company's CEO Alf-Helge Aarskog. Norway-based Marine Harvest, which already trades in Oslo, is the world's leading seafood company, controlling about 25% of the capacity to produce the highly popular Atlantic salmon. The global salmon market grew 15% last year due to increased demand from emerging markets, according to Aarskog, who is also seeking to grow the company's distribution system in the U.S.
