Research Priorities for Raising Atlantic Salmon in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)

Atlantic salmon is a top seafood choice for Americans. Unfortunately, the United States imports around 96% of Atlantic salmon meet consumer demand. There is an urgent need and opportunity to increase domestic salmon aquaculture development in the United States. The Recirculating Aquaculture Salmon- Network (RAS-N) is the first of its kind public-private collaborative network and a hub of multidisciplinary expertise in land-based aquaculture and salmon technologies. Through strong industry and stakeholder support, RAS-N is facilitating the growth of environmentally sustainable and economically feasible Atlantic salmon production in the US. The guiding principle of the network is to understand industry gaps, impediments, and needs. Annual workshops provide opportunity to engage with stakeholders, bringing in national and global experts in RAS technologies and Atlantic salmon for their input and guidance. This video highlights the 1st annual workshop, hosted by the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point’s Northern Aquaculture Demonstration Facility in Bayfield, WI in December of 2019.
