Atlantic salmon farming

Atlantic salmon farming is the process of raising salmon in controlled aquatic environments known as aquaculture or fish farms. Fish are bred, hatched, and grown in sea pens or freshwater tanks until they reach market size. This method helps meet the global demand for salmon while reducing pressure on wild populations. Farmers manage water quality, feeding, and health to ensure the fish grow efficiently and remain healthy. While it provides a sustainable source of seafood, challenges include environmental impacts, disease management, and concerns about farmed fish escaping and affecting wild stocks.
