Landbased Salmon Handbook - Undercurrent News

To complement my list of 325 on-land fish farm systems, and my Good News Post for more than 500 news/papers/analyses, Undercurrent has put together a land-based handbook on how to do the deed.

Norway emerges as surprise leader in developing land-based salmon farms

"Growing salmon to harvest weight in land-based farms is a technology that could potentially unseat the dominance of top industry suppliers Norway and Chile. But it is also an opportunity for two producing nations to leverage their operational expertise.

Norway, surprisingly, is developing more land-based farms than any other country, including China, Japan, and the US. There are more than 20 land-based salmon farms currently under consideration in Norway, according to The Land-based Salmon Handbook, a joint publication by Spheric Research and Undercurrent News. This surpasses the 14 projects we identified for the US market.

If all developed, Norway would add 483,800 metric tons of salmon supply to the 1.3 million tons that it currently produces from traditional sea-pen farming. There are only five other projects to grow salmon on land in the rest of Europe, and the biggest of those will be built on the Swedish coast, 20 miles away from the border with Norway.
