Farmed Salmon is a type of aquaculture, the practice of cultivating aquatic organisms such as fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and plants in controlled environments. Farmed Salmon is a popular species for aquaculture due to its high demand and relatively low cost of production. The majority of farmed Salmon is produced in open-net pens, which are cages placed in the ocean that allow for the exchange of water and nutrients. This method of production has been criticized for its potential environmental impacts, such as the spread of disease and the introduction of non-native species. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on sustainable aquaculture practices, such as closed-containment systems and the use of organic feed. These practices are intended to reduce the environmental impacts of farmed Salmon production while still providing a high-quality product. Some companies in the Farmed Salmon market include Marine Harvest, Cermaq, Cooke Aquaculture, and Grieg Seafood. Show Less Read more
