salmon farming
Raising penned fish
Salmon farming is the commercial raising of salmon in controlled environments—typically ocean pens or inland tanks—rather than catching wild fish.
The practice supplies most salmon sold in stores and restaurants.
Farmed salmon differs from wild-caught in taste, texture, color, and price: Is this salmon wild or farmed?
