Full Year 2024 Highlights and Recent Developments For the year ended December 31, 2024, product revenue totaled $789 thousand, a year-over-year decrease of 68% as compared to $2.5 million in 2023, as the Company sold its Indiana grow-out farm ("Indiana Farm") in July and began to wind down its fish rearing operations at its two Canadian farm sites ("Canadian Farms") in December. Both the Indiana Farm and Canadian Farms have been designated as discontinued operations. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased to $149.2 million compared to $27.6 million in 2023.
