Land-Based Atlantic Salmon Production- Overcoming Barriers to Support Growth

Land-based closed containment salmonid production represents an important and growing sector of the overall aquaculture industry.
These land-based operations utilize water recirculation aquaculture systems, also known as RAS technologies. RAS can provide numerous benefits including; enhanced biosecurity, increased optimization and control over the fish rearing environment, effective capture of waste, no interaction between farmed fish and wild fish populations, and reduced overall carbon footprint by providing increased domestic seafood availability close to local markets.
Support for research and technology development is needed to facilitate the growth of this industry sector and is vital to meet U.S. seafood demand. Continued research and development in closed containment aquaculture production will also facilitate domestic agricultural economic contribution, job growth, and food security. This video explains two current barriers to this industry that UWSP NADF and partners are investigating and looking to overcome.
