Finfish aquaculture is a type of aquaculture that involves the farming of finfish, such as salmon, tilapia, and carp. It is a rapidly growing sector of the aquaculture industry, with production increasing significantly in recent years. Finfish aquaculture is a major source of seafood, providing a wide variety of species for human consumption. Finfish aquaculture is typically conducted in either open-water or closed-water systems. Open-water systems involve the use of natural bodies of water, such as ponds, lakes, and oceans, while closed-water systems involve the use of tanks or other artificial enclosures. In both systems, the fish are typically fed a combination of natural and artificial feed. Finfish aquaculture is subject to a variety of environmental and regulatory concerns, including water pollution, disease, and the introduction of non-native species. As a result, the industry is subject to a variety of regulations and standards designed to ensure the sustainability of the industry. Some of the major companies in the finfish aquaculture market include Marine Harvest, Cermaq, Cooke Aquaculture, and Grieg Seafood. Show Less Read more
