salmon farm
Aquatic livestock operation
A salmon farm is a facility for raising salmon commercially in enclosed pens or tanks, typically in coastal waters or freshwater lakes.
Farmed salmon accounts for most salmon sold in stores and restaurants.
The practice raises environmental concerns about pollution, disease transmission to wild populations, and fish welfare: The salmon farm discharged waste directly into the bay.
