NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Further to its news release dated September 6, 2013, AgriMarine Holdings Inc.
(TSX VENTURE:FSH)(FRANKFURT:A2G) (the "Company" or "AgriMarine") is pleased to
announce that its subsidiary, AgriMarine Industries Inc., has executed a
definitive Share Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with the shareholders of
West Coast Fishculture (Lois Lake) Ltd. and West Coast Fishculture Ltd.
(collectively, "WCFC"), a British Columbia-based steelhead producer, for the
acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of WCFC (the
"Acquisition"). The cash purchase price for the Acquisition is CAD $5.2 Million
dollars, subject to post-closing adjustments related to the calculation of
WCFC's biological inventory and other items.


WCFC is a private company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia whose
assets include fish inventory, hatchery, and farm infrastructure in Lois Lake,
near the city of Powell River, British Columbia. The founding WCFC management
team will continue to operate the farm. WCFC is the premier supplier of
steelhead trout in the province and its premium Stillwater Steelhead brand is
recognized for its quality and sustainability, and is sold throughout North
America. A longtime proponent of improving fish farming techniques, WCFC
developed one of the first commercial recirculation hatcheries in B.C during the
mid-1990's. WCFC is committed to offering sustainable fish products that adhere
to best practices, as is AgriMarine.


The Acquisition is an arm's-length transaction. No finder's fees have been paid
in connection with the Acquisition. The closing date of the Acquisition is
subject to customary conditions and receipt of all necessary regulatory
approvals by the TSX Venture Exchange. There can be no assurance that the
Acquisition will be completed as proposed or at all.


Separately, the Company advises that it has permanently shut down its research
and demonstration site at Middle Bay, Campbell River. The WCFC site will become
the Company's flagship production site.


"We are enthusiastic about the acquisition of WCFC and the strategic opportunity
it represents as we focus on becoming a global producer of sustainable fin
fish," commented Mr. Sean Wilton, President and CEO of AgriMarine. "Our plan is
to install our proprietary AgriMarine System(TM) rearing tanks at WCFC, where we
will focus on accelerated crop turnover and demonstrate the performance benefits
of our closed containment technology." Mr. Wilton added, "We believe that WCFC's
established steelhead operation, fish inventory, hatchery, and skilled manpower,
combined with AgriMarine's technology, will provide a strong head start to scale
up fish production in British Columbia."
