BSFC Blue Star Foods Corporation

Blue Star Foods Corp., (“Blue Star,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) (NASDAQ: BSFC), an integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) sustainable seafood company with a focus on Recirculatory Aquaculture Systems (RAS), today announced that are no material changes in its business and that it reiterates its previously issued 2024 forecast of at least 65% revenue growth with an annual run-rate of greater than $20 million.

This forecast is based on a current pipeline of existing and additional business that remains strong, and is supported by the following:

• Initiated roll-out gourmet meals made in USA for U.S. Military.
• Currently harvesting weekly at the land-based steelhead salmon farm.
• Increasing inventory levels in anticipation of revenue acceleration.
• Launched plans to improve its soft-shell crab operations by introducing cutting-edge technology that combines Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Ultraviolet (UV) light technology to revolutionize the industry’s standard molting crab identification process.

John Keeler, Chairman and CEO of Blue Star Foods, commented, “For those investors that asked, “What is going on and what is happening?” We are confident in our business and know of no specific reason why our stock has underperformed, since we withdrew our S-1 Registration Statement on August 16, 2024 and subsequently strengthen our balance sheet by paying off $645,668 of debts.”
