An in-depth look at how new legislation in Chile has altered company valuations

Chile's salmon industry is going through a major shake-up. Empresas AquaChile and Agrosuper's Los Fiordos announced almost half a billion dollars of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals in June. According to industry executives, these deals could be the first in a new wave of industry consolidation.    The deals were spurred by a major change in Chile's industry regulations, which limit how much companies can harvest. This ultimately ended the boom-and-bust nature of the Chilean salmon industry, boosting valuations and turning better-financed companies into predators for weaker rivals.  We've called it Chile's Salmon 2.0.
