salmon farms
Oceanic fish ranches
Salmon farms are aquaculture facilities where salmon are raised commercially in enclosed pens or tanks, typically in coastal waters or freshwater systems.
The fish are bred, fed, and harvested on an industrial scale rather than caught wild.
Salmon farming has made the fish widely affordable but draws criticism for environmental impacts: Salmon farms can spread disease to wild populations.
Also called salmon ranches.
