This is the original post I made in Jan 2012 and kept updated into 2016: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2012/01/key-document-142-mostly-on-land-closed.html.
I will begin adding new fish farms systems to this post, started May 10, 2016 because I have so many in the original post that blogspot.com is having difficulty adding and saving anymore.
This is the text of the 2012 post:
My list of mostly on-land, closed, most recirculating systems for raising fish now has 142 different systems on it (and the Jan 20, 2016 update below adds thousands of firms in Europe). This represents more than 10,000 actual farms on land, several thousand additional firms and many different species of fish. This is a milestone, and although the Norwegian fish farms, Marine Harvest, Cermaq (Mitsubishi) and Grieg Seafood say it can't be done, they are obviously wrong, and don't want to come out of the water. Enough is enough. We need our governments around the world to take fish farms out of our pristine oceans.
Denmark, for instance, has half its farms as RAS systems - recirculating aquaculture system. Added to the Kenyan system at the bottom (system 73) will bring the current number of on-land farms to 10,000 around the world. Finland never allowed fish farms in its ocean. They all have to be on land.
There is no reason anymore to have old-tech, open-net, in-ocean farms with their environmental degradation problems and open sewage in our pristine oceans. Move forward to the October to December period of 2015 because the Norwegian governement is so angered by in-ocean fish farms that it is awarding free licences for them to set up on land. In ocean licences now go for $9- to $12-million in auction. So the free on-land licences are a significant subsidy as well.
It is time to ask the question: why are fish farms raising Atlantic salmon in BC where there are five species of Pacific salmon? Why are fish farms in the ocean when all their problems can be eliminated on land? Why are fish farms raising carnivores that require the killing of many stocks of ocean fish that should be eaten by people?
Here is a new 2013 document that shows on-land, circulating systems make more money than in-ocean net-pen operations: http://tidescanada.org/wp-content/uploads/files/salmon/workshop-sept-2013/NEWD1-11TrondRostenandBrianVinci.pdf. It is a very technical document, but worth the effort of crunching through it. You will note that different assumptions give different results, but the last page says it all: production of fish on-land is not more expensive than in-ocean (note that this is stated in the negative based on the initial hypothesis statement)
Here is the CAAR symposium link on other closed containment studies: http://tidescanada.org/salmon/aquaculture-innovation-workshops-and-reports/.
Here is the 2010 report written for SOS Marine Conservation Foundation, Technologies for Viable Salmon Aquaculture: http://www.findonnelly.ca/sites/default/files/Technologies_for_Viable_Salmon_Aquaculture.pdf.
SOS concluded that: there is no technical or economic barrier to closed containment salmon farm aquaculture for the production of salmon. Moreover, B.C. is advantageously provisioned for catalyzing an industrial change and for retaining the new emergent industry in B.C.
Here is the link to the Seachoice on-land circulating systems released April 8, 2013:
http://www.seachoice.org/seachoice-news/canadian-and-u-s-closed-containment-farmers-lead-the-way-in-ocean-friendly-seafood-solutions/. There are an additional 6 systems here.
Here is a link to a closed containment study at the end of 2014, Dec 27: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2014/12/study-on-land-fish-farm-systems-make.html.
Here is a link to the Kuterra on-land system in BC. This is a good costing document, and retailers realize the difference and will stock Kuterra salmon, but not Marine Harvest, Cermaq nor Grieg Seafood: See this link: http://www.namgis.bc.ca/ccp/Pages/default.aspx.
Note that below these various updates is the list of on-land fish farms
Updated, Feb 5, 2015: In Norway each fish farm must pay $1.69 Million to get a licence. [Now, in Dec 2015, there are those free licences to set up on land.]
In BC, because we have very low fees, ($5171.25 X 130 = $67,000), it means we are subsidizing every farm to the tune of $2 million. What this means is that Norwegian-style fish farms have no argument for not being put on land because of cost. They are subsidized now $2 million.
We taxpayers are subsidizing the entire industry of, say, 130 farms (80 operating at any given time) to the tune of $260 million. This is 400% of the entire aquaculture contribution to GPP of $61.9 Million. Fish farms need to be on land, just like the 10,000 other actual on-land farms around the world.
Note that the Norwegian in-ocean licence of $9 to $12 M, means BC is subsidizing fish farms to the tune of $1.17 to $1.56 Billion to use our pristine ocean as a free open sewer.
See: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/11/marine-harvest-licenses-idUSL6N0N338Y20140411.
Updated, May, 2015 The Conservation Fund Freshwater Institute (TCFFI), is producing farmed Atlantics in, get this, Norway. See the article which has a link to the research document: http://www.thefishsite.com/articles/2056/trends-in-salmonid-recirculating-aquaculture-systems/.
There is no need for the dinosaur old-tech in-ocean fish farms any more.
Updated, August 20, 2015, AKVA, listed below in number 26, is having its best year ever selling on-land fish farm systems, even in Norway, for Pete's sake: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/08/20/akva-seeing-historically-high-interest-in-land-based-farming-amid-record-quarter-h1/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=d35cf2dd4c-Europe_briefing_Aug_20_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-d35cf2dd4c-92426209.

Updated, Oct 3, 2015: Here is a good organization of recirculating aquculture systems, in Norway no less: http://www.nordicras.net/Members/Industry. It is the Nordic Network on Recirculating Aquaculture Systems.
Updated, Oct 7, 2015: Here is a Powerpoint presentation on an on-land farm for rainbow trout in Canada. Most importantly, it gives the financial figures on building, production cycle to harvest: http://www.tidescanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Dan_Stechey_-_The_Canadian_Model_Farm_Initiative.pdf.
****Updated, Oct 14, 2015. This is a really great summary Powerpoint presentation of a good 30 on-land RAS systems presented in Nanaimo, BC, Canada, 2015, along with financials and metric tonnes: http://www.palomaquaculture.com/support-files/palom-aquaculture-steve-summerfelt-ras-update-june-5-2015.pdf. The question is: how many is enough on-land fish farms before governments pull all in-ocean farms out of the water for their high environmental damage? After all, the only monetary advantage they have is getting off Scot free from their sewage costs, and those are paid for by us, the public, $10.4 Billion in BC alone. We don't want to pay.
Updated, Oct 17, 2015. To identify any BC in-ocean farm, see this DFO link: http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/aquaculture/licence-permis/docs/finfish-pisciculture-eng.html.
Updated, Oct 21, 2015: This is a cost-comparison, by Deloitte, of on-land, in-sea, and on-land and in-sea at different ages. The report says that on-land is the way of the future, because capital costs are lower than in-sea models and operating costs will drop, and growing fish at market site reduces shipping costs. It also sees a market for the three fish farm systems: http://fishfarminginternational.com/tag/land-based/.

Updated Jan 20, 2016. The attached link lists thousands of on-land farms in Europe. Russia alone has 2500. These are in addition to the 127 I have found so far. While this report has a section on marine growth, most is about on land fish farms. See: http://www.aquafima.eu/export/sites/aquafima/documents/WP5/Actual-and-potential-aquaculture-locations-in-the-BSR_final-with-maps.pdf.
Updated Jan 29, 2016. This is a 2014 report by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Seafood Watch ranking system, reporting on three on-land farms: Namgis, BC, West Virginia, TCFFI, USA and Atlantic Sapphire, Denmark. It shows what goes into a sound ranking system, unlike, say, the BAPs, ASCs and so on: http://www.seafoodwatch.org/-/m/sfw/pdf/reports/mba_seafoodwatch_atlanticsalmon_ras_report.pdf.

1. Norsal, a Norwegian-owned company that will spend EUR 206 million to build a land-based facility for 20,000 tonnes of salmon in Yantai, China.
2. West Coast Salmon, led by ex-AKVA group boss Hallvard Muri, will build production facilities for 15,000 tonnes of salmon in Nevada, USA.
3. Swedish Quality Salmon has received a lot of attention, not least locally, for its construction plans for a site that’ll produce 110,000 tonnes of salmon.
4. Pure Salmon is still on the hunt for financing for its facilities, which is aiming for a total of 260,000 tonnes of salmon.
5. Nordic Aquafarms has already started harvesting fish from its plant in Fredrikstad, and has two other construction projects, both in the United States.
6. Columbi Salmon, where former Nordea seafood analyst Kolbjørn Giskeødegård is CFO, will produce 15,000-20,000 tonnes of salmon on land, near Oostende in Belgium.
Update Dec 3, 2020: See the GOOD NEWS POST FOR ALMOST 700 articles: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2020/09/good-news-post-links-to-on-land-closed.html.
Update Jan 1, 2021: This is Salmon Businesses list of 74 projects globaly. This article has good stats on on-land, though some are behind the times: https://salmonbusiness.com/74-companies-are-building-land-based-salmon-farms-with-potentially-1-8-million-tonnes-of-fish-on-the-horizon/.
I should add that at this time the potential is 1.8 Million metric tonnes. That's how big on-land is.
"100,000 tonnes in annual salmon production is more than the entire current salmon production in British Columbia, by a good margin. By comparison, all of Canada, both east and west coast, will produce 142,000 tonnes of salmon by 2020." As Mowi will lose 10,000 to 12,000MT in BC's Discovery Islands closed farms, I doubt that 142MT is accurate. The loss will bring BC fish farms down to 73,000MT.

This one is a complete game-changer for on-land, as in hasta la vista in-ocean. The BC industry is toast.
Look at their staff: "Work on the company’s site
in Florida is underway, with former Marine Harvest and Villa Organic executive
Dharma Rajeswaran in as chief operating officer.
Andreassen left his role with Platina Seafood, a US importer he is
a shareholder in, earlier in the year for the CEO spot at Atlantic Sapphire.

officer;
Thue Holm, as chief technology officer; and Damien Claire, also CEO of
Platina, to handle the sales side.
Kjell Bjordal, who was CEO of feed giant EWOS from 2000-2013, is

153. Nekst - Norway, 20 million Atlantics, mostly on land: http://www.fishfarmingexpert.com/news/world-largest-land-based-salmon-farm-is-granted-license/. Using large post smolts means a shorter growing cycle in sea cages, less delousing and less environmental impact. Nekst believes that growing even larger fish on land, and spending even less time in the sea, can nearly eliminate the need for delousing with chemicals and other methods.
But excuse me while I roll my eyeballs: Partner, Kjell Aasen in Nekst says: “A key success factor for the Norwegian aquaculture industry is the know-how, skills and professionalism of Norwegian authorities in charge of the industry. It is a matter of looking around the world, to understand that we could not have built the best aquaculture industry in the world without a good set of regulations and a qualified bureaucracy.” Fish farms make such claims but read Sandvik's, Under the Surface, for the corruption in the process.

"We are going to collect the salmon's nutrient-rich excrement so that it can be used for other purposes," said Aarskog. "In addition to which, the solution is almost guaranteed to be escape-proof and lice free."

143. Canada - Tilapia. There are on-land tilapia farms in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. This is many farms, but listed here once, taken from the Canadian Aquaculture Alliance site, that is mostly about environmentally-degrading in-ocean fish farms: http://www.aquaculture.ca/files/species-tilapia.php.
Nice article,"389 On-Land Fish Farm Systems!!! And more than 20,000 actual on-land fish farms around the world".
