153. American Salmon to be Vertically Integrated - on land USA, will raise, process and ship its fish: https://www.undercurrentnews.com/2019/08/29/salmon-processing-veteran-looks-for-farming-partner-on-egg-to-retail-pack-us-ras-operation/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=d2e4531035-Americas_briefing_Aug_29_2019&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-d2e4531035-92426209. Aims to produce 60,000mt on land, as first step, then double it. ""The $150m would finance the first stage of 15,000t, he said, adding: "We would then have the space water and treatment plant to be able to put another four of these [15,000t units] on our site.

83. On-land RAS is Taking Over - hasta la vista in-ocean: https://www.intrafish.com/commentary/1806842/letter-ras-will-oust-traditional-salmon-farms?fbclid=IwAR3xvh_Wt9JspuHFpiQJ-qsQCee6Q3ZmTcKkJG3CSwyHxTs9Kof-93gAO0Q. "I have 10 years of experience in Chile producing salmon in different recirculated aquaculture systems (RAS), and in response to Lola Navarro's article ("Will the land-based aquaculture bubble burst?"), I can tell you this: mega-RAS Atlantic salmon production projects will oust traditional farms.

There are a range of reasons. In southern Chile, the salmon industry is being increasingly rejected due to the pollution its open netpens generate, and because of the immense returns pharmaceutical companies are making by selling and using antibiotics and anti-parasitics to the industry. Low salaries and bad working conditions are also a factor in the opposition to the sector."
