Salmon farming is very big business. Supplying what’s become one of the world’s most popular proteins, the industry has grown at an impressive rate over the past 25 years.

Aquacuture is rightly considered one of our leading food supply sectors. It is a far more efficient protein producer than any land animal farming industry, and with global seafood consumption on a 40-year strong growth trend, fish and shellfish farmers have been ramping-up their harvests to ease the demands placed on wild-capture fisheries, most of which are now operating at their maximum sustainable yield.

The farming of fish has become extremely big business in recent decades. With a total volume now in excess of 80 million tonnes, more than half of the seafood consumed globally comes from aquaculture. As the world’s most efficient protein generator, it’s expected to continue this growth trend. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) forecast a harvest of some 110 million tonnes within the next decade. (more…)
Salmon is a very special fish. Highly prized across traditional and new markets alike, the relentless growth in consumer demand for salmon shows no signs of abating. Many would argue that it has reached the point that it now transcends the wider seafood category, with evidence that many people who wouldn’t class themselves as “fish eaters” actively making it a part of their diet.
