This Tuesday, Alan Cook, vice president of aquaculture for Icicle Seafoods Inc. of Seattle, will talk about the company’s two floating net pens off Ediz Hook in Port Angeles Harbor, which contain as many as 820,000 Atlantic salmon.

Cook said last November that the company may try to move the fish farm into the Strait of Juan de Fuca by 2017 to get the pens away from a $20.6 million pier and support facilities that the Navy plans to build on the Hook for escort vessels guarding Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor submarines traveling the Strait.
