I have no idea what your qualifications are but I bet Wendell was thinking of this question as well. Do you know how much space you need to produce 10 000 fish bi-monthly? What are going to do? Don't forget you'll need to have grow out facilities to hold probably 100 000 fish, along with broodstock, and potential broodstock.
Why do you think ORA and C-Quest target stores and not wholesalers with CB livestock (better price). They're significantly larger than you, have significant business contacts and experience, and from what I hear are breaking even. You must remember that to break through you're probably going to have to have lower prices than your competitors to start because they've got a quality product and an established customer base. If you're planning on selling to wholesalers drop your price by a minimum of 30%.
I also have to agree with saltcreep, there's some nice stuff here on the west coast and he's proven that CB clowns can sell out here. I don't want to quash your plans - I'm just real curious. By the way, you could probably move alot more fish here in Canada than you think, probably several thousand pieces a month.
