| Abstract |
Extensive marine aquaculture, popularly referred to as ocean ranching, provides an attractive alternative to intensive feed lot culture. Pacific salmon lend themselves well to extensive production concepts. The report describes a specific production concept. This concept involves the production of chum salmon fry in an incubation system designed specifically for this purpose, the direct release of these unfed fry, and the harvesting of mature fish upon their return to the natal facility. This is among the least intensive approaches to fish production with respect to capital, labor, and operating expenses. As such, it is a promising approach to large scale production of low cost aquatic animal protein. |
